    The 2 meaties I kept are huge. One has pretty slow feather growth with bald spots. It feels weird picking them up because of their plump, firm bodies and hot featherless skin areas. I was at U of I in Champaign. I somehow agreed to chaperone 220 high school kids on a college campus for 5...

    Dominique Thread!

    Here's Fizzy (My last Dom was named Bubbles. This one is similar - but not quite the same. So she's Fizz) Fizzy is very interested in the camera. It's hard to get good full body shots. But Very Easy to get beak close-ups!
