Aww, that "are they supposed to be bald?" question always gets me.
Poor person, but if you don't know, you don't know pretty crappy because it really seems like TSC sees these people coming a mile away.:hmm
What's just as bad, if now worse is when they have a bin full of unsexed bantams for 50 cents each and some poor soul comes in an buys a dozen of them. You just know they're getting a butt load of boys, plus the eggs are super tiny & aren't going to be what the expected at all. At least w/ the cornishx you can sell or process. It sucks to not get what you want, but at least they have more potential to someone than a box of tiny roosters.

Henrietta (Henny-Henny) wanted to show off her feathers that are growing back in very quickly.

I hope the illness is affecting her more b/c she's putting so much energy into growing her feathers back in. If nothing else, it's a good sign that she's filling them in still.

Holy wow.. and I thought the $35 jubiliee orps were a cash cow. I like how they say they're the only place to buy them... I'd buy a dz and breed them out and cut into their profits.

I hope they lay gold eggs.
They do if you hatch them and sell the babies.

I'm thinking they did a double import. They imported them to a country that is allowed to export to us, kept them there for a couple generations and then imported from there.
That makes sense..

Happy Friday morning! @Sassysouth How is Henrietta this morning? 66 degrees here this morning. I opened the kitchen windows and the utility room and bathroom windows. Love hearing the singing birds and roosters crowing
Ugh.. I wish I remembered to open my windows this morning! It's raining/ storming here right now.
 
I have a theory that the stores buy a whole lot of boys from the hatchery because they're cheap mark them straight run to make a bigger profit.
That banty bin though..lol! I know one dude who bought them ALL close to two dozen. He got a grand total of three females.:th
