The man with the golden hen.

Perhaps your new nickname should be Scaramanga?

Lifecycle of a chick.
First they pip, then they peep and then they poop

That there is funny.

 

[BY Bob]

What on earth is that

It is a protective boot for a chicken with a foot injury. I got them in case I would ever need them. They took over a week to get here and in an emergency that could be too long.

@featherhead007 so glad you got that one!

 

[BY Bob]

Awesome!

Who is it for?

Hopefully no one ever. They are here just in case.

Beddybye time update
Hubby was really worried about the two chickies so we quickly got them out and into the brooder. Yeti has taken them under her wing. They are the same size as slowpoke!!! But eating, drinking, and using the heater.

1 unzipping and I believe 4 more pipped. My next pain medicine dose is at 10:30, I will check on them then.

So cool! I would be sitting there all day!

Teehee! And, Oh, I totally forgot about Cornflower...that was pretty too!

The Crayola factory is about an hour from us. It was so much fun when we took Eve there.

Tax from the past

Oh odd! She doesn't have any other white egg chickens on her list, maybe they are mixed with something, that was also a possibility.

More mystery chickens!

Sharing this because of 1 part of the article and it won't let me copy just that part. Please excuse all the politics.


The paragraph about a bug going through Vietnam and Laos....including the bit about 2 blades if fresh grass. If that really has that big an effect on the bug mentioned, is it likely to have a similar effect on bird flu? @BY Bob does your background help decipher that? Is that bug related to AI?

The polish can also be white....as a mix then brown leghorn is possible. Neither will be marked that way, though. The lighter one may get the black/salmon roo/hen breast, but I'd speculate will be much darker than standard brown leghorn. And if are polish mix, are unlikely to show the crest at hatch. The golden laced x something else could easily pop the dark colors.

Polish eggs are white for certain.
