What a fulvous looking lad

That appenzeller is really getting into it, even breaking the instrument during the drum solo? I wonder if they have an album?

Laying first has caused Shirina to take the crown. We shall see what will happen as the others lay.

Sort of. When a cockerel is chucked out of a tribe or leaves the more junior hens are the ones he tries to attract. He knows that the senior ones will not leave their rooster in most circumstances. It seems strange, but the hens that leave the rooster make an immediate jump in standing because they become senior hens in a different tribe.

Oh, that is a very interesting point!

 

[micstrachan]

So this gave me a thought: hen pecking plays into the survival of the species by pushing younger ones out to join a new tribe. Does that make sense to anyone else?

It’s an interesting thought for sure!

 

[micstrachan]

I'm very curious to know how new feral tribes form. For genetic diversity, I hope a pullet from one family forms a tribe with a cockerel from a different family.

Yes, I was thinking about all that inbreeding and hoped the same.

Stupid arrangement. I have replaced many alternators but never a power steering pump. That is a hideous place for a starter. What is the solenoid failed? Yikes!

Nighties, folks. I had a friend over for wine and chatter, then caught up on BYC. So excited for chicken time over the weekend and I hope they aren’t too scared to come out. Darn hawks!

Why do you permit your chickens to smoke?

I don't think he does, but he gives them the odd glass of gin me thinks, judging by that crown picture.
