I friend of mine here on BYC has been working with a strain of Naked Necks that carry a recessive featherless gene in the hopes to get a featherless chicken. She got one! His name is Rudy, he's about 2 months old now. Isn't this bizarre???




She said, "It is a completely natural genetic mutation first found in a flock of New Hampshire chickens in a flock in CA, back in the 1950's. It is recessive and takes two recessives to pass this form. A bird can carry w/o showing, if it only gets one gene. This genetic make up has very real benefits, and some limitations. Raising chickens for meat in tropical countries can be difficult b/c of the heat, these are being looked at for ability to raise them for inexpensive meat (by crossing w/ the faster growing meat birds) in more tropical, poor areas. Rudy is a very active, energetic well rounded chicken, living in w/ a flock of feathered but naked necked chickens. He preens, runs, flaps, sunbathes, chases bugs, digs in the ground, same as any other chicken. He did have a rocky start, having nothing to do w/ his genetics, but w/ incubator problems, but is very healthy now."
get that Chicken some drawers
 
so today we are going down to the west coast Coonhound Rescue to look at adopting a older pup. They have quite a few that where dropped off from a suspected puppy mill.
also some great older dogs but with cats and chickens and a older boy we need a younger dog plus our box Baxter is a mellow roll model in his old age as long as you keep him from the garbage.
so we are thinking of adopting a scared but super sweet 6-7 month old male Black and Tan Coonhound

makes me tear up when I go in there so many great loving dogs. Makes you wonder whats wrong with some people when you see the dogs.

My first dog was a puppy mill Basset hound. Basset hound puppies are not mellow, like you would expect. They are super hyper for 2 years, then become couch potatoes.

They are also a VERY stubborn breed.
