To each their own.

I don't breed Wyandotte's, but am working on the pattern in another breed, and read this thread hoping for some insight occasionally.

When someone inquires about getting stock from me and they use the word "roo", in the back of my mind I immediately assume I am dealing with a novice, who very likely will move on to a new hobby in a couple years. I have to admit the thought whether I want to chance the results of years of work advancing a variety to someone who hasn't even bothered to learn the terminology crosses my mind. Now not everybody is a serious breeder, and just likes a pretty chicken, McMurrey catalog is full of them.

Just saying.

I don't use the word roo, but I also double space after every period, don't use letters for words (like "U" for "you") and really don't use any slang at all. I don't think it makes me more of a serious breeder...it just makes me old. If I never sold chicks/chickens to people who used slang and abbreviations in their texts then I wouldn't sell many chickens. And what's with music today? It's all just noise! Hold on...I have to go yell at some kids to get off my lawn...

Well I would have too say if those are the thoughts going threw your mind then you are close minded and arrengent in your ways too judge a book by its cover is never a good idea word terminology very's from country too country dose that mean we are less safistacates then another place becouse we use different words no so I feel maybe you are the one too quick to judge people I use the word roo have my hole life I come from over 100 years of raising and breeding birds in my family and I have donr it my hole life now am I less of a breeder becouse I use roo I think not so carful on how you judge people and be more careful on expressing your thoughts of people

So....not to change the subject or anything, but one of my new blrw chicks got attacked by my cat yesterday....I accidentally left the lid off their brooder. Anyway, I managed to catch him in the act and saved her from him, but now she's got a little circular patch of skin missing from her head. I cleaned it the best that I could, and she seems to be doing ok today, but I'm not sure if she's completely out of the woods yet. I'm also slightly concerned that 'she' might actually be a 'he'. She's feathering in slower than my other girl, and just happens to be the biggest out of all the babies....by a lot. Any advice for her injury or insight into her possible gender would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, everyone!!
