We will one day destroy our own race in one way or another. I know this to be inevitable because the people that reproduce the least are the people that are able to support the most.

If you work the math, the way things are going, there will eventually be one person producing and 10 billion living off him/her. I hope he/she doesn't get sick and die. The remainder would prefer starvation to work.

Really hard to tell, might be some earmuffs there? Are her legs dark? Kinda looks like it...the head shape is actually kinda Araucana, but I've had Ams with the 'crow-head'.

Can't tell really with her face fluff, but she has dark gray legs. Thanks for replying

Miss Virginia , I would say is an EE. Usually you just get the chipmunk colored EEs,but occasionaly you get the little oddballs. Like this one lol. I had 3 that looked like her. here is a pick of my most recent one that looked similar to her.

Awww she is very similar looking! Thanks for replying with a pic!

You probably wont know till she lays! but what a cutie pie

That's what I was thinking, I'll let you all know what egg we get! She sure is a cutie patootie

Hey, PipdZipdandReady

You named all your chickens. Can you come up with 54 names for my critters?

Quote: use a warm crayon thats been in the sun, warm to almost melty.. to seal tiny cracked areas. I tried it on some chicken eggs, and it does work, one of the 3 hatched that i tested.You candle and mark over the cracks you see.

I was so good at keeping up with this Thread, and have had a busy week (part of it making avatars--haha). Now I am so overwhelmed with all the posts!

Recently, I mentioned that my Jersey girl "acts" like she lays eggs, but doesn't. She even sings the "Egg Song." Here's photo I took today of her sitting on another hen's egg.

Sad day on the farm. I feel like the worst chicken keeper ever. My little Sparky died today. It was my fault and I feel terrible. Live and learn I guess.

So sorry to hear that!! Don't be hard on yourself.

when frizzles are all grown up with all there feathers what do there wings look like???

Their wings are curly as is the rest of their body. But should have a lot of feather. I'm wondering why you are asking? If there is only fluffy feather at the top and the lower half is only the shaft with not much feather, they haven't been properly bred. Breed them. Hope that helps. : )
