Hahahahhahahhahahha okay no comment. lol actually I love watching my silkie roo try to breed the girls. For a few reasons lol not that I stare a lot. A) his dance looks ridiculous B) I like to know if I should expect fertile eggs from him C) he is very clumsy and often called off D) the hens are very patient but I feel get disappointed a lot lol

Mine still hasn't got it down yet. When he finally grabs em, he turns loose a gives em a little peck on the cheek. Then he sits there and stares at em as if he's saying, was it as good for you as it was for me? I don't know if he'll ever figure it out.

My roo's name is Jack, but I swear I should change it to Kramer. When he tries to dance, he trips over his wing, and almost does a face plant.

If you can video tape that... please!

Good luck! Sounds like a wonderful time. Take some pics of your horse for us

I'll do my best to get pictures. I am just excited to see the reactions of the girls to real eggs. My teacher was very happy about it, and was talking about how cool it is that I have "happy chickens."

I don't have that option. I'm a techno-idiot, and it takes lots of "IT" support from my husband to even figure out how to post a simple picture. Then... to be out and catch him in the act would be an other unlikely event.

That is too bad.

Wow It still blows my mind how many people don't understand where their food comes from...

A family/friend(twisted sort of relation lol), they've had chickens for 2or3 years now just like 2-5 depending. When I first decided I was getting chicks and had been on here for a couple weeks researching what I wanted for breeds. Well I was telling them about how I was going to get a couple that layed green eggs. They said "oh no all chickens who are outside eating grass and bugs lay brown eggs, that's why the store eggs are white. So all your eggs will be brown."

I also had an ex-boyfriend who thought that dairy cows were called dairy cows because they gave milk all they time. He had no concept at all that they are mammals and have to have a baby to lactate... Seriously, I can't even...

Yep, that just about sums it up. I've had folks who grew up with chickens tell me that you must have a rooster in order for the hen to lay eggs. And... if there's a blood spot in the egg, that's a developing chick. And... one lady told me that when she was a girl, she'd put her hand under the hen and catch the egg when it was laid, and she'd feel that soft egg harden up right in her hand. Then there's the: "I won't eat an egg from a flock with a rooster, cause I don't want to crack an egg into the frying pan, and find a baby chick." It's not just pertaining to chickens and eggs. Took some radish to work yesterday to share with co-workers: Some said: "I've never had a radish before." An other lady won't eat any thing grown in a home garden. "Because it grew in dirt!"

One of my brother's friends was observing my Silkies. He asked, "What ARE those?!" I replied, "They're sweet little chickens. I love the birds." He was startled and said, "Chickens are BIRDS?!"
No. They are carrots.
