A Beech Mountain, NC term for baby chicks. I use it when I talk about my grandfather's chickens. He loved his "diddles".What...what are "diddles"?
Oh I like that very much, I may start using that term lol. My gramma was from Murphy NC and she called her bantams "bannies" and for years I thought her chicken stories were about bunnies.A Beech Mountain, NC term for baby chicks.

The same grandfather used that term as well. He actually gave me my first "bannie" hen with 12 diddles when I was about 5 years old. A year later, I had more than 80. I would get up at the crack of dawn to watch them fly off the roost from the trees behind our house.Oh I like that very much, I may start using that term lol.

you should meet a Houdan. Polish x10I don't like Polish. They are too skittish. Polish are downright crazy, wild nut-jobs and also barely lay eggs so thumbs-down. They're cute though .
Deathlayer comes from the German word Totleger which, literarlly translated, means 'dead layer' so if we're going to be grammatically correct here the translation of Deathlayer is most correct.Someone mentioned death layers. I think the closest thing to them in the US would be Campines. According to Robert Hoeck, whose videos I really love on Youtube, the name is a corruption of the Low German dialect word for everyday layer. Robert also went on to say in his video that if anything deserves that name, then it would be the commercial hybrids, which (in some cases) really do lay until they drop. He isn't a big fan of them; he too prefers the heritage breeds.
