My gosh. So many thoughts....... let me get organized here.

First, I love the peeps and squeaks. I miss them. There is something about that sound and raising them from so small that tugs at the heart. ❤

Second, those bantams are a LOT smaller than I expected. That is going to be quite a difference in the end. Wow!

Third, someone was either full, or was absolutely fascinated with you. I sense an new friend for you in the development. Maybe even a lap hen.

Fourth, I think you have hit a home run with this bunch. Here's the important question. Are you still scared to take care of them and how do you feel about real littles vs POLs now?

Leghorns are white. Ask any Italian from Tuscany. Just because a bunch of Americans decided that they would accept different colours and different shapes doesn't mean shit. I've had a similar discussion regarding Marans. There are no Black Copper Marans in Marans. There are black Marans and that's it. Don't tell anyone though because they get upset.
Yep, it's confusing. I go by the breed originally bred in the country of origin. I don't really care what various bodies who show and judge have to say about it.

Everyone knows I prefer white. I guess I'm a purest!

Maybe not the best example of a White hen!

Our view from the waterfront. The lads have worn a track through the mangroves.

Beautiful. Such a wonderful place where you live. I know it has its issues, ferry and all, but it seems such a beautiful natural place.

It seems they are in America.
It's a bit like Japanese whiskey getting called Scotch.
White fizzy wine getting called Champange.
Turron getting called Nougat.
Pernil getting called ham.

By the way I have been wondering, what is your pick as the best Spanish Ham?

Chicken tax

He's extremely talented & likes to hide his kindness but we've all got him sussed.

That gruff and blunt exterior. We see the real Shad inside.
