How Fun!

For sure!! We were all so excited to get the results in for both of them lol Frank’s came in a couple months ago, January I think, and Libby’s was shortly after they adopted her so last year. It’s always fun knowing. And Frank is such a fun dog. Libby is too but Frank is so goofy and energetic lol he’s always like rolling around or zooming around and being a goof ha he also runs SO fast. So so fast. He’s like lightning lol and he does this thing where he practically flys across the yard. Doesn’t run but literally just does like 3 huge hops and he’s across. So weird. And sometimes when he runs he hops like a bunny/pounces lol such a goofball.

Accuweather has an article with an allergy map. The East coast is red! That is the worst level.

We are a bit behind on that

I am taking allegra, singulair, nasal spray and mucinex. Still almost threw up from so much mucus draining down my throat.

Sean. Do you know if the native Americans kept chickens before the Europeans arrived?

I think maybe the Central American tribes may have, not chickens as we know them today but wild gamefowl.
Plains and Eastern natives certainly didn't.
The Dine (Navaho) probably started keeping chickens after the Spanish arrived.

Up until that time only the various indigenous grouse would have been hunted but not domesticated.
Comanches wouldn't even hunt or eat a wild turkey....they considered them cowards because they would run away from them...if they ate them, they believed they would take on their characteristics and be cowardly, too!

I know the Spanish introduced some varieties of chickens into South America. These would also have been what we now call game fowl.
I asked because I've been reading stuff on the Egyptian incubator techniques and the earliest records of keeping chickens/jungle fowl as livestock.

I believe the Egyptians were the first to start domesticating any wild fowl, the Chinese would be somewhere in that timeline too, as the first to start domesticating wild fowls....although peafowl were in India, they didn't domesticate them until after the Egyptians had been domesticating them for quite some time.
I'd be interested in reading about their incubating techniques, too! Can you point me in the correct direction to find this reading material?
