It's so fascinating! I read an article recently that said pretty much the same thing (Bob Alphin, U of Delaware). I plan to use the info. in a future blog. Anyway, off the subject do you still have Harlequins - if so, are you selling any next year?

Yep, I do! I plan to have ducklings and eggs for chickenstock. Can sell them in sexed pairs or straight run.

This is unrelated but I was just talking about it in another thread so I wanted to share. Most birds, including poultry, can see UV light, which is very cool. This includes chickens (and peafowl, just think about what a male's display looks like in UV). So that might be the reason that your birds have freaked out if you wore a new seemingly bland item of clothing or freaked out about an object that to you appears utterly harmless - it might reflect UV.

It also turns out that lots of birds we thought were sexually monomorphous are not, but we can't see the differences. The birds, however, can tell the sexes apart clear as day. So I wonder if our roosters (or hens) have some UV glow to them that we can't see. Interesting to think about.

I agree the birds - know the boys from the girls
