How bout dipping them in ketchup, that’s a vegetable isn’t it?

I like ketchup, but not on my cheese crunchies! Maybe guacamole or homemade ranch...

Oh and no, it's a fruit!

Ned is actually a cross-bred. He's half barred rock and half Rhode Island Red...

Any recent Neddy photos?

Bridge, Rocks-Anne, and Sydney are all Barred Rocks or Barred Plymouth Rocks.

And my Bessie too. I still miss her.

 

[LozzyR]

Sydney is obsessed with food. She is always eating, foraging, theiving from others and finding food wherever she can. I believe that she is an excellent forager.

Bessie used to like to sit in her food!

Exactly! And potentially detrimental when breeds turn out susceptible to sickness or early death.

Is there a breed with official characteristics "healthy and long-lived"?

I want that breed!!

 

[LozzyR]

I was learning myself. It's interesting.

Are you reading your chicken text book Bob? How’s that going?

Don't ask. I don't know. She hasn't laid an egg for almost a year. She still chucks the youngsters out and has a bit of a sit.
