Imagine that. Jaffar being the first rooster to fly at 8K feet!

Branch really takes his daddy duties to the next level. I tried to get a family picture with both chicks in it. It did not work out, one would stay in front of Chiquita or right next to Branch just out of view. He still also calls and feeds Twig and George. Chiquita takes the chicks to bed about a hour before dark. Almost every evening when she first takes them to bed he follows and hops into the tote with them and sits close to her and the chicks use him as a play ground. Before dark though he hops up onto the roost and sleeps facing the box's direction so he can keep a eye on them. Bubba is good with the chicks, he will occasionally offer them food but his #1 priority is taking care of the hens, and escort duties. Momma hens are due I think to hatch by the weekend, I'm curious to see if Branch is just as good with them. I know he will try, the question will be if Momma Hen will allow him to get close.

He does look a bit cross with you, doesn't he!

Gucci Does It Again, on Film!

I just love all the support she gets from the other 2. It is so sweet to watch them work together!

Color wise, I agree, but it still doesn't generate the correct comb
You have mentioned it before, but back then I was a newbie to the site and didn't know how to bookmark: what is the site you use for genetics calculations?

The comb could easily be wyandotte.

The stories he could tell his grandchooks!

Okay, but where’s the fungi tax?

Here you go. Fungi tax.

Where did that cushion go? This is not comfortable at all.

Yeast the noun, is treated as singular. yeast is a fungus, it is a member of the fungi family.

No real intended, as you are SOOOOO much more knowledgeable in this area than I am! I'm just being a smarty-pants wise-***. Honestly, I bow down before your great knowledge!

I will defer to you for any math questions but I'm defending my ground on the microbes.

Thanks for being a good sport!️️️
