Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Tumbling K]

thanks....Iv'e actually been doing some of these with ut having to be told!
pat on my back.

gonna hurt your chest again....

 

[Ravynscroft]

Yea, I read them both.  The sneezing one wasn't so bad, the other one was the one I was talking about! 

And Chris' link was perfect strategy.  I'm gonna have to remember that! 

Oh, I wouldn't have touched that other thread with a 10ft pole!

So, I would need to make sure the breeder I got them from could ensure the 2 copies of the blue gene?


eta: and yes, like Chris, thanks Ravyn.

Yes, Bert, but that might be difficult... depending on the breeders, many don't realize there's a difference... just see blue eggs so they keep going... that's why I said that for you to make sure, use a hen... you can see the difference candling the eggs... many of mine are single blue, one of the things I'm actively working on...

Thanks for the info Rav - yeah, I have read that BL egg production is not that great, but it's the best I can get, unfortunately. Gosh, if I lived in the West, I'd go bonkers with all those breeds to choose from!

I had to cut back...

We had way too many, lol...

Rav....do I need to read this "How to be a good member" link?

You can share it with me!!??

I'm on mobile, links are a PITA for me... ask Chris...

Nah... just remember... subtlety is a virtue...

thanks again.

Do what you want, but don't do it on account of the thread. Others may benefit from some schoolin too.

Schoolin' is good. It even quietens the Frawgs.

Kerplunk, oops there goes another into the Pond.

I think that "how to be a good BYC member" thread could be abridged to "just don't act like a first class prickle!" (with last two letters deleted)

I'm too slow to catch a cold, so count me in!

That would be effective and to the point. But such folks frequently are so sure of their importance and aware of others insignificance that they can't see that they are one eyed.
