Cluckmazing Facts~ (A New Facts Daily)

@FortCluck and @ChickenCanoe wanna join in the fun? I know you're very knowledgable about chickens!

 

[ValerieJ]

Actually, I was under the impression that chickens decided issues of importance by following the clucking of the dominants in power and/or the cluckers with the loudest or most insistent cluck and/or crow, unless three or more low-ranking individuals gang up on someone and peck them into submission and/or death OR someone decides the sky is falling, in which case mob rule applies...

Oh crap, chickens are suited for American politics...not to mention news media and popular culture...

You guys are killing me!

I know most of those egg colors off the top of my head but wanted to add that, regardless of the variety, the breed's shell color will be the same.
As an example, Black, White or Blue Jersey Giants will all lay a medium brown egg.
White Leghorns will lay a white egg. But a Black, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Exchequer, Buff, Silver, Red, Black-Tailed Red or Columbian Leghorn will all lay white eggs.
Breed is determined by characteristics like egg laying, size, shape, leg and skin color and demeanor. Variety only determines the color of the bird's feathers.

I haven't read all through this thread but I'll contribute some little known facts from time to time.
Here's my first one.
Research shows that pullets will become sexually mature sooner in the presence of roosters. They don't have to be in the same housing, they only have to be able to see the cockerels/roosters.
I guess that is the eye candy stimulation of the gonads.

I've wondered if sexual desire of hens is diminished if they are with a rooster who had parts of his comb and wattles burned off by frostbite.

I'm going to let my chickens vote on impeaching President Trump. Ok the verdict is in.All 50 of them voted to keep him in office. He will remain in office until 2024. He will leave office proud as a peacock.
