LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

[Canadian Wind]

Oh yes, she was a member of Tribe 2 until she died. Very popular hen with the rest. They all accepted her as being a bit odd and let her get on with it.

Humans can learn from this. But they won't.

Ugh, I've become obsessed with reptiles (mainly snakes) again

I would take the genetics determine behaviour with a large sackfull of salt. What genetics can tell you if you can trace far enough back is what a chicken may look like and that's about it with our current level of knowledge on the subject.

I'm not so sure about that. There's a reason a lot of breeders do this.

I was adopted as a baby (3 months old). I was *always* different from my adoptive family. Years later, as an adult, I met my birth mother and my uncles and aunts and cousins. I fit in so well it was scary!

So yeah, I firmly believe in the genetics of behaviour.

Unfortunately humans can be disgusting, worse than pond scum.

I love snakes! I've never kept them but love to find them in the wild.

Same!

So far, I've seen three different species here. Thankfully, none are venomous.

I never realized how expensive ball pythons can get. Or how many morphs they have. And I thought poultry people were crazy

While I've got the drive loaded...
Mini Minx demonstrating how to do the broody pancake.

Otic. Mean as a bag of snakes. Mini minx's daughter. One of four. She got thrown out of Tribe 1 and Harold from Tribe 2 took her in (she's half Marans and half bantam) to help keep Bluespot warm from what I could see. Otic became Tribe 2s enforcer.

Gedit, I've never laid an egg in my life, mentioned above. Big gentle easy going hen.

Myth, Gedit's half sister. Lovely little hen except she killed any chicks she hatched and was generally shunned by the other bantam hens. Ended up living with Gedit and Donk.
