Morning/afternoon all, another warm day ahead here

Morning Dude. We're in the same boat here. Dodged a bullet yesterday, don't know if we'll have that luck today.

Good luck Borg, storms can be nasty

Morning Bill, how is life in the Bay area

You know I was thinking that yesterday, they can't be fuzz butts anymore. They have chickens that lay colored eggs? Interesting.

Yes, there are Ameraucanas (which is what we have) and Araucanas (developed in Brazil). The reason for having them is that the eggs are lower in cholesterol than regular eggs.

If you cross Ameraucanas with another breed, the hens still lay colored eggs, but since they're no longer purebred, they're called Easter Eggers, or EEs.

There; that's my chicken fact for the day.

Hey I was wondering, how come they haven't developed a chicken yet with 4 or 6 legs for those of us that love drumsticks. I would think KFC would have looked into that by now

Pretty neat, pre-colored eggs, perfect for Easter.

You too, hopefully we'll both get lucky & they won't be as bad as they say.
