I ain't quoting that whole thing, but I believe tape worms look like narrow egg noodles, whereas rounds look like spaghetti

LOL

Good Morning!

I should have just gone straight to you. I was killing myself trying to hurry. I should have just gone back to everyone else.

I see we have a birthday girl... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MC!!!!!

One or the other of them, maybe both, die when the air hits them.

So stick some compressed air up the end they are coming out?

Hi, how can I now the age of a chicken, is by its size or something else?

@siryani
How to Tell the Age of a Chicken...

Your chickens shanks may help you determine their ages. A younger chicken will have smooth shanks, an older bird will have rougher and larger shanks. Another words young chickes have smooth feet and legs with shorter toenails and older they get the more aged and rougher. A young cockerel around months, will have spurs that are -1/3" long and as they age the spurs get longer. They can be 1" or more by 2 years old unless they had been clipped. Hens 1-2 years will sometimes lay an egg a day and take a day or two break between clutches, but after 2 years egg production declines. When they are 4-5 years you will only get eggs occasionally. Sometimes you can tell by the vent size and the size eggs layed. jumbo eggs are typically from a 3-4 year old hen. When she stops producing her pelvic bones will get closer together almost like she was as a pullet. You wont be able to tell exact ages, but a laying hen will loose a bit of color in beak, wattles and legs, to simplify, its do to putting her energy into laying the eggs. As a rooster ages his mating lessons, his fertility decreses, and he also may have that fading color on legs and wattles when he is 5-6.




any other input welcome! Thanks!

And watch the chicken blow up like an over-filled balloon & explode? I'll pass
