Learn something new every day! I just learned guineas can hybrid with chickens and even peafowl. How crazy weird!

That would be interesting. I think I'd like to see that. Kuntrygirl, get working on it?

Good morning peeps. Wet and chilly this morning. Gumbo, stew or soup weather today.

I gave my boys the choice of stew or chili. They picked chili. I'll be making a big double batch of ground beef and steak tip chili with kidney and navy beans.
Don't laugh, but I've never made gumbo. What is the gumbo preference? Seafood, or chicken, etc? Does anyone have a recipe for gumbo that they enjoy?
Please share!!!

I'm wondering what the silkie babies will come out like. Both of the parents I'm told are "Blue". But my roo has a fair amount of buff color now on the back of his neck. So I think he is called something else, not blue. I forget what its called. But I'm hoping with his buff and maybe she has something hidden that may throw us some neat looking babies. Maybe???

Oh, I can't wait to see pictures!! This is the part of chickens that I love. The wait kills me!!! I really want to get something that has a little of a "frizzled" look to it. Not sure if I'm describing it correctly. I also would love one that lays "olive" colored eggs.

What???

That's news to me, too! So they do it naturally, or are people fooling with nature like they did to create the mule?

The ones mixed with naked necks look like vultures!!!

Depending on which eggs hatch there may be White bantam frizzle with the Silkie roo........that might be really bizarre!

Gutting some carving pumpkins, do I just feed seeds and innards raw on a treat tray or do I have to prepare it in anyway?

Thanks, I bake them for us to eat but wasn't sure. I'll search around.
