I think you have a rooster on your lap.
sex link or possibly copper maran?

No, no...I don't want another rooster! LOL

Here are the two I had - the red one was obviously a rooster when you compared them. I didn't think the black one looked like a rooster - long tail, smaller/whiter comb.

its just when i have male chicks they always have the slow feathering and the feathering is uneven. mine would grow long tails a few weeks after the female chicks did... but the tail was still not as filled and ragged looking. Its just in my experience the odd feathering always = roo.

Interesting. I'm curious now how this one will turn out.

1) Open it up to the air - it reacts with air and the moisture in the air
2) Run away and don't inhale
3) Wait
4) Flood with water
5) Keep away and do not inhale
6) Check temp to make sure the plastic is not going to melt
7) Rinse with vinegar and see if it bubbles

Yes, it should be fine for water/garden/fish, although you should note that there may be a little extra sodium (Na) inbedded the plastic. I know that fresh water fish like a bit of salt in the water. As long as it is thoroughly rinsed. . .

Hmmm. . . Another thought, do NOT use any "cleaning" chemicals on these. All you need to do is dilute it. You know how the Drano says not to mix chemicals? Iirc that if you mix bleach with this stuff you will get cyanide gas (CN). Use acids like vinegar, etc.

Yes, once rinsed, they should be food safe.

Awesome thanks!

Ok... I finally made it back here and figured out how to post. Whew! I really don't like change.

Wanted to say how nice it was to meet RonB. and his son on Tuesday!!! Such a nice couple of guys... even if one of them likes white eggs!!!
Thanks for the bread, too! The kids said it was awesome.

Hope eveyone is figuring all this new stuff out. It will take me a while. I'm computerly challenged!

"AM"s? Ameraucanas? I have eggs - pretty blue ones, and I'm in Olympia

Yes Ameraucana's
coming this way anytime with extra eggs?

I'm glad to see the forums somewhat resemble the old ones. I have had forums revamped before and they look NOTHING like they used to and it just doesn't feel the same!

One thing I don't like is now we can't PM from a post.... least not that I can find.... and when I post I can not just back page twice to get back to where I was... I have to note page and go back manually
