I didn't figure it was about Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.Hell, I thought this thread was about workers at a shipyard. We were called "Yardbirds".
Would that be Yardbirdors?Hell, I thought this thread was about workers at a shipyard. We were called "Yardbirds".
I usually had a colorful adjective to go along with that term.Hell, I thought this thread was about workers at a shipyard. We were called "Yardbirds".
I won't go into all the adjectives we had for sailors.I usually had a colorful adjective to go along with that term.
Or people who want chicken that tastes like chicken. They almost always have more and deeper flavor.Stew hens are what they are called in a grocery store! Really old or poor folks use to ask for them.
I've been doing some research on chicken genetics wrt egg color. It's pretty neat. Apparently, there are only two gene sites that determine egg color, brown and blue (these are two separate genes on separate chromosomes, so you have two brown/white genes and two blue/white genes - it's not like base eye color in humans, where it's two brown/blue genes).We had some Chinese chickens that laid green eggs.
Why for the dogs?
Fresh eggs are so rich. They are the best!old and tough
Glad to see you are going to do it. The kids will enjoy it, its kind of cool and fun to watch them. And the fresh eggs make it worthwhile.
Get started sooner than you think. It won't go as easy as you expect it to. Also, even though most people assume that birds can perch on round dowels easily because most sticks are round, chickens seem to prefer square perches like a 1x1.Thanks for the info gents. I think we'll press forward in the spring with a coop.
Lol!! Good one man! made us laugh!! We love chicken tenders too...

Blue color is added as the shell is formed, brown color is added as the egg is finished and about to be laid. Both of them are dominant. With a non-expressing gene at both sites, you get white eggs. With one expressing gene for brown and none for blue, you get light brown eggs. With two brown, darker brown eggs. Same with one or two blues with no brown, light blue or dark blue eggs. Mixing brown and blue at the same time gets you shades of olive.
