What fascinates me is parthenogenesis.... Fish are the biggest ones that do it but so do some reptiles and amphibians.... When kept in an all female environment... And has been known to happen in Chickens and Turkeys.

Parthenogenisis.... asexual reproduction....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

there are species of reptiles that have all the same DNA... and they are all female.

But the Wikipedia article is fascinating.

I did some research on this a while back for a book I am writing....

Not only do they change colour ( I love chromatophore possessing animals ) they change texture... Very well, better than octopi...

Oddly this dyslexic woman can spell chromatophore
But not the word "was" half the time...

Thank you so much.

Like all deserts here is chaparral and rocks and not much for food except rabbits and mice once the chickens take residence the predators come. My most successful flock were completely free range.... Oh I would loose some but there were about three broodies that took charge of stock replenishment.... That was my longest term flock. Then we had a big fire here in San Diego countie.... Driving the deer from their mountain ranges.... and the mountain lions and bob cat and coyotes followed. I lost that flock that year.

I will get it right.... if and when I can get home. I am very very homesick right now. People around me are noticiing but I cant tell anyone. except here.

The way it works is essentially the animal makes a clone of itself.... very very simplistic... no sex changes involved.

Have you ordered eggs? I can't imagine what kind of shape they would be in traveling up there.

I can't get them shipped from the next state over without them being treated bad by the post office.
