I started with one naked neck chick - now I have about a doz teenagers.

Mine are RIR crosses

I had oodles and oodles of crosses but lost 48 in two days from Newcastle disease - my helpers changed and these guys did not get vaccinated.

Is it weird that I knew these reproductive facts mentioned here from before? And if you want freaky reproduction, check out the mating ceremony of slugs.

 

[Amberjem]

wow thats a big loss is there a basic sort of medicated thing the chicks need besides medicated feed

 

[Amberjem]

I'd rather my chickens mate and the slugs provide fodder for the chickies

I think a lot of them were known by poultry people - but the fact that it was in mainstream news grabbed my attention.

Although the Argentinean Lake Duck was a revelation
