No hate here - I love seeing the various foods that other cultures have to offer that many see as horrible, nasty or gross.....hadn't seen this before, thank you for sharing.

Quote: I'm not hating it is what it is. Chickens are mostly raised for eggs or food or both. no difference between a week old or 20 weeks old.

What breed?

Arabians -

Stallion Bluesong babysitting the weanlings (Mr. Mom)

Blue as a 2 y.o. (Bluespruce Tanzeer x WN Nadia's Song - closest blood sibling to uber-champion WN Ultimate Star... and Blue had better legs)

GG Samirs Melody w/Blue's colt

Best riding mare La Morena w/Blue's filly

At one point, I flirted with a dream about breeding miniature horses . . . .

Then I joined Marestare.

A breeding season or two of watching foalings go horribly wrong could knock the stars out of anybody's eyes.

That's why I said they can break your heart. And agreed that mini's are the worst for pregnancy and delivery.... I've seen mares at a friend's farm turned out for exercise into the pasture trip on a sprinkler and lose the baby... so sad. Another friend had welsh ponies that had horrific foaling problems... After two fatals in a row she opted out of horse breeding. I had one orphan foal that we had to C-section out of the mare (ruptured cecum). The mare was a grand old lady of Crabbet lineage. The baby spent a month at UCD foal NICU. She was delivered close to full term (and weighed a whopping 105 lbs at birth) but had blood poisoning complications. Out of 52 babies at the NICU that year mine and a mini were the only ones to walk out.

Horses for being so big and noble are incredibly fragile creatures.

Some arabians are cool....those isis 1s have trouble adjusting "socially" IMHO

You do not eat this baby. It is safe in mama's hand!
