@ronott1 no one bid on the partridge penedesenca eggs from Michigan yesterday. Starting bid was $12 for 6+ but $15 shipping.

What stats make up the triple crown?

Baseball

Batting triple crown is average, RunsBattedIn and home runs.

pretty tough thing to do
hitting a round ball traveling 80-100+ MPH with up/down/in/out movement with a round bat (take that cricket) moving 100 MPH

Thanks for letting me know!

I will have to check it out now--must be some kind of sign that no one bid on them.

(baseball is very superstitions...)

Could be bad luck timing for the Pene birds... I would have trepidation that my eggs would get stuck in some P.O. somewhere due to weather.

I posted about them a couple days ago in the Penedesenca/Empordanesa Anyone Have Them thread started by Luann.

I have some dumb chickens. The brahmas are in the rain trying to dodge raindrops. My other chickens wont come out of the coop

The bramahs are the only ones who don't seem to mind the snow in my flock.

Thanks for posting there!

I did see it but was resisting the urge.

@Peep_Show About the cold, unless the eggs freeze hard enough to crack the shell, they will develop. Cold does non kill the embryo because it is in a suspended state. Heat will kill them because they start to develop and then die if the egg gets to the kill temperature for too long.

Usually Penedesenca eggs come from warmer climes --because to the beautiful combs they have.

I've never watched cricket, but I tried playing it a bit last summer at a company team building exercise. It was great fun. But baseball/cricket/pesäpallo as a spectator sport... it's a bit dry for my tastes. Basketball has too much back and forth action. American football I've finally started enjoying after making myself watch the superbowl the last 5 years. Soccer is fun during the European Championships or World Cup. And I like the World Cup in hockey too, but oddly enough, pretty much the only sport I really liked following on TV was track and field, when it was the Golden League. After they got rid of that and now have the Diamond League instead, I haven't watched anymore, since it's broadcast on channels you would need to pay for.
