Fascinating

AND stallions were frowned upon - they were nothing but trouble, and noisy. Mares on the other hand were like gold, and they had more stamina (so it is told haha), also mares were very quiet during raids, and unlike stallions could run and piddle without stopping!

So you would not find a stallion in a bedouin camp at all only a mare - she was worth more than gold and slept in the tents with the women who cared for them

But, somebody had to have a Stallion - otherwise you would eventually be out of raiding horses!

At least that was what I got from 'the birds and the bees' talk.

I've realized I butted on to this thread without so much as a by-your-leave or an introduction. Rude of me. Thought I'd introduce my tiny flock of mutt-chickens.

Houston, we may have a problem.

I told you all I noticed Goose had started plucking out her feathers on her chest. If she does not lay in the porch box today this will make 3 days without a egg from her. It seems I once again need to go on a find the Easter egg hunt and try and track down her nest. I'm secretly hoping she has just taken a 2 day break in-between eggs. Her brood patch though is halfway clean now so I seriously doubt it. I think the brat is trying to become my first official broody girl of the year. If she is thinking about going broody I have to track down that nest. She has not even been laying a month yet and while I would love Goose chicks eventually her eggs are still small.

You have some very pretty chickens. I will say it right now, I'm jealous of your girls. Why can't mine behave that way when a nest box is occupied all nice and quiet and polite. Nope, my crew scream at the top of their lungs, evict the girl that is in the box and in general cause mayhem.
