I thought I was the only person maddened by “Welsummer.”Yeah that is annoying. I do find terminology and writing breed names correctly important, although ofcourse I do make mistakes with this myself. That way it's easier for people to find your threads or understand it if English is not the native language. Which is why I hate seeing "Welsummer" being written instead of "Welsumer". Doesn't make any sense as it has nothing to do with the word of "summer". What's next, going to write "Barnevelder" as "Barneveldder"? Makes about as much sense since both of these are Dutch breeds named after the cities they were developed in +er added at the end.
One thing that is more of a petpeeve and technically not incorrect. But I dislike it when people use the term hybrid when refering to chickens with mixed parentage (layers, broilers or others). To me a hybrid is a mix between seperate species like the liger or spalding peafowl. While a mix where the parentage breeds are known are generally refered to as crossbreds and unknown parentage are mixed breeds.
Anyways that was my rant and should probably pay some tax at this point
My current main flock with 3 new added pullets.
It’s like saying “Londonner” or “New Yorkker.”
I’m afraid that ship has sailed, though, at least outside of Europe.
going for their escape.
) who was my head hen, my chickens stopped trying to brood outside. The fact that I confined my chickens for several hours each day, also on the days I am at home, may have helped too.
