Well written article about a complicated condition. I would like to mention that laying a lash egg does not always result in the death of a hen. I had a two year old cross-breed lay a large lash egg in February, become dull with reduced activity for several weeks after and eventually...

I’ve only had two roosters in my life, so take these comments with a grain of salt. One was an adopted bantam named Pedro with huge spurs that wouldn’t stop attacking people. He never got the chance with me because I picked him up and cradled him like a baby when he ran at me…rocked him and...

For sure, thanks!

Yes, cheese cures all ills.

Ha ha. Yes, it CAN be dreamy but it’s been more like a nightmare these last two years. And I’m embarrassed to admit that there are times when I get very little sleep in French hotels, even expensive ones. Le sigh…

C'est très gentil, merci!

Ugh. That is a great idea actually (unless I just end up horrifying both myself and poor “Vera”). 😳

Thanks so much!

From the Marans EU website: Note: The English selection of Marans (i.e.without feathered tarsi or feet) is not recognised in Europe.
