I love this roo. He is heart shaped almost! I like how long he is and the color is great. Comb seems proportional but not too big. I know obviously nothing but I like him a lot.

I'm waiting till 11 mountain standard........third cup of coffee.........chickens refuse to go out on the first touch of moisture we have had in almost 2 months. I swpt their porch I tempted them with an apple and left their FF outside.....This is Colorado, they need to get used to snow. lol.So, how many of the newbies are going to participate in the first OT pop quiz? Can't wait to see the results!
My toad says I need to keep trying and when I have kissed enough he will become a prince...huh.Yeah, I had to kiss a LOT of toads before I found my prince.
You have a 300.00 chicken? Can I see? Where did you get it? Do you think you could manage to tear up a little asking for the dog? I think after all this that you have to use some different tools outta the old toolbox.Maven,
I kissed a few toads and found my prince too..I am fortunate indeed. Got to love a man who loves to eat eggs and chicken and will indulge a woman outside all day long playing in chicken poop. I asked him tonight if I could reorder my script for the poultry press chicken magazine, and he said, aww hun, you can have anything you want.. you don't have to ask me about spending $20, you just need to talk to me when you want to buy a another $300.00 chicken.He still will not let me buy an LGD. Weird that I can spend $300 on a chicken but not on a dog.
In my opinion, that really has no value..I am not a Judge...As far as your tents..Most of them are good..one looks a little pinched, but nothing to my eye that says don't use this one.
I figured some kind of hormone or something to supress the male hormones to keep them tender. Not something I want to eat either.I think that pellet was DES, which is a synthetic hormone known to cause cancer in women whose mothers were given it to prevent miscarriages. NOT something I'd want to eat !
I am a year older than your mom, but I don't remember a pellet, but they had a surgical way of caponizing back then.

It hasn't gotten old here. Mine started laying in August and the 2nd one in Oct. Just waiting for my 24 weekers to start - since the time change it may take a bit longer. Luckily we have great weather here is San Diego CA. Still get EGGCITED everytime I get one.Does that pertain to pullet eggs as well? I still havent eaten them. I have them marked as they have been laid so I can watch them for changes in texture, color & size. I find it pretty fascinating Yesterdays egg was still warm when I got itIts like Christmas every day that I find an egg......I dont think it will ever wear offBut as soon as I am done staring at my pretty eggs I plan on taking picks of the yolks so the OT's can give me thier opinins on the insides. I have no store bought eggs in the house to compare it to
And on a side note my friend lives near a dairy.....I never knew fresh milk tasted so good....and the egg nog......I dont think I will ever buy store milk again !!

FRED's Quiz:
Ok, here is the promised Pop Quiz. But here are the rules and background info.
There are two birds focused on here. I will try to identify them simply as Bird #1 and Bird #2. They are both ISA Browns, the quintessential layer. Think the CX of the layer birds. These are not dual purpose fowl. They are dedicated purpose fowl. Eggs, eggs and more eggs. They are both 8 months old, all the birds came in a box of 25, hatched on the same day, brooded together and raised together. Always been fed the same feed, in the same environment.
Apologize for my crappy photography and camera quality. It is what it is. While it doesn't come through on the camera well, I can give you this hint. Their feathering quality is vastly different in real life. You'll have to decide which is which and why.
Rules for the Quiz.
1. Only those who've kept backyard birds for less than 3 years are allowed to take the quiz.
2. No one can reply right now. Anyone who replies today, will be DQ'd. No ifs, ands or butts.
3. The window of turning in your Quiz responses will NOT be until this time tomorrow. There will be an open window of 8 hours in which to turn in your Quiz. Anytime tomorrow[COLOR=B22222](NOW TODAY, DEC. 9)[/COLOR] is just fine, [COLOR=B22222]after 1 pm[/COLOR] EST. Noon CST, 11 am MST and 10 am PST. Sure, this is a gimmick, but hey. I want to think about this quiz and not give instant, knee jerk responses. OK?
4. Tell me what you see in comparing these two birds.
5. Tell me if you would cull one, both, neither, and why you think so.
OK, there it is. Is everyone ready for the photos to judge?
