Just pipped me to a similar observation Sour. Not sure where the educated minds are on this thread

Morning Debby! I got 2 gold and 2 silver laced wyandottes and 2 Buff orpingtons..

Looks like great looking chicks! Where did you get them, if you don't mind me asking

In an attempt to educate myself, I have a question for the smarter ones in the group (why ask here, I don't know)...

Is a yeti and sasquatch the same thing? Or different but related?

DNA testing seems to indicate that they are subspecies of the same genus.

Aha! I feel so much better for having learned something this morning.

I think they have some relatives that post here.

Yeti and Sasquatch are found on different continents. It is possible that ancestral Yeti may have crossed the Siberian-Alaskan land bridge and been cut off when the ocean level rose; isolation may have caused the apparent differences in appearance seen today.

The "acid test" for species/subspecies historically has been whether you can breed individuals of the two together and produce fertile offspring, but since nobody has yet managed to cross a Yeti or a Sasquatch and lived to tell the tale, the matter is still unsettled.

Tada- an educated mind.

I think I read that testing on hair found in the Himalayas indicated that such a mating had taken place. As to fertility of the offspring ?

Thanks... I did catch a few zzzzz's anyway

Seems my "how you diddling" seems to possibly mean something over there with you guys that i am unaware of. In the UK, its just a light-hearted way that means "how are you doing" - and I'm being serious, so sorry if it means something else to you guys. If it does, i can promise you it was an honest mistake.

I've Bern know to do some diddling..

I'm stayin out of it! 

(I'm still afraid Eggsy will whoop me)

I think you live far enough north, you don't have to worry about them.......you just have to worry about

My idea of any acid test is something a little more.... Tie dye....
