Evening folks. How's things?

Good evening. The bird on the left is an adolescent Ancona. They get all black with white spots when mature.

I'm rather surprised that link shows so few sultans.... Are they really THAT rare?

They are pretty rare but it relied on breeders and hatcheries to report what they had. I reported and my breed didn't even show up on the list.

what did I do wrong posting it!!! thanks Paddler! Thanks about the worms! I had seen those, I need to look up superworms too if my internet lets me that is. I think I will have one kid work with crickets and one superworms, or do you think I should have them both involved in both? Yes, Jaerhons are lovely what is the typical egg size on them if you have it handy uptop? And good luck with the chicklets! Minihorses eggs hatched last night, I posted them. so my bators need cleaned and I thought I was finished but have marans eggs coming Sat morning local and I think I should try the tolbunts out.

I don't remember what the link was made up of but it directed to BYC rather than ALBC. I would involve both in both. That way they can see various life cycles of insects and they can check each other's work. I don't know if I ever weighed them but for the bird size the eggs are pretty big. The birds are between bantam and LF size but I'm guessing the eggs were 50-55 grams.

She is nine. Super excited. She is on day 5 of 70. She can hardly wait to get her chores done so she can put her check on the board.

That's great. Having a board to mark off was a brilliant idea. I always loved marking off my short timers calendars.

Hard to get a lot of color out of black birds. Somewhere I have a picture of a cockerel that was a Jaerhon/Penedesenca cross. I don't think I've ever seen so many different colors in one bird. A black and a partridge Penedesenca rooster. A Jaerhon cockerel. A gold laced black polish cockerel and pullet pair with a white Jersey Giant cockerel. A Partridge Rock rooster with a mix of hens. A black leghorn, a blue splash Jersey Giant, a Delaware Frizzle, an Ameraucana, a Welsummer and the butt end of an Ancona. Same mix of birds except the gold laced Wyandotte and the Jaerhon are in clearer view. An Ancona/ Penedesenca cross cockerel.

Do you have a big Muslim community there?

I was thinking the same thing. We have a large one here as well as a large Jewish community. However, we have plenty of markets to satisfy all ethnic needs.

Don't fret about being vertically challenged. DW can walk under a snake's belly w/o ducking.....well, not quite, but close. Top of her head makes a handy arm rest, though.

Or a place to set your beer.

Not that I know of, but we live next to Mexico, and apparently have a lot of holidays here, that require intact males, too? I don't know. I just know that 2-3x a year, male goats that are intact sell for a lot to eat for religious holidays.

Birria is a popular goat dish in Mexico.

Beutiful roosters CC! Wat breed is that bearded rooster in the middle? The one that holds a chicken in it hend?

Sally, I challenge you to 51,500.

I am thinking the nation of India is mostly Hindu (330 million gods and reincarnation)

Mostly hindu, with a slightly smaller Buddhist population and a very tiny Muslim population.

(I am a veritable fount of useless knowledge)

And Sikhs

might be an even smaller Jewish and Christian population, one of my favorite authors, Ravi Zacharias became a Christian in India and now lives in Atlanta, GA, USA

For fun.. Cindy and her chicks, they are 7 weeks old now (SLW).

Your hen is very pretty, is she a barred EE?
