The egg rules the world

Don't know if this is along the same lines, but my mom would sometimes grumble about males and their troublesome Y chromosomes!


I had no idea what she meant by that!

[I.D.10-t]

Does that make it the "no idea Y"?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, eventually the Y will disappear in the not too distant future. High mutation rate don't ya know.

Hahaha, probably!

IB these were definitely rude roosters








That's what was tryin' their best to flog us everytime we stepped out the door, or got out of the vehicle. About eight pounds of evil rooster multiplied times four.

Maybe the roosters were psychic and going rogue because they knew they had nothing left to lose. Another solution would have been importing a hen or two. That would have relived the tensions.

It would have had to have been at least 40 hens minimum for 4 roosters.. They could have had a good life here if they'd behaved, but nooooo

Actually, since then I've learned that this is a common problem, roos gone bad, whether they've got lady friends or not.

common problem


now ya know why I thought you were crazy

I AM crazy Denny..because I'm gonna try again....but with two different breeds...Dominiques (known to me as Domineckers)
I grew up with them, granddaddy always had a flock of them on our farm and they never bothered anyone. In fact one rooster was my pet-named Goldie..don't know why I named him that.and wouldn't you know it, they are now a rare heritage breed(not good for mass production market so their numbers dwindled to about 5,000 in the whole country) but I've located a breeder in OH so in a few months I hope to be able to get some chicks. So dominiques for me and for the Lil a few Buff Orphington hens..they are supposed to be very docile and gentle lap chickens. We'll see how it goes. If that doesn't work I'm gettin myself some guineas!

I blame this all on being without a Skye Terrier for the first time in 38 years....

[Denny]

well, yer not the first one I've known

I've had Buff Orphingtons, liked 'em!

I don't personally know any Irish proverbs involving eggs (lots involving cows, though!), but here's a pretty thorough list of seanfhocail...might be worth a look through:

I love those kind of things. I'm still reading them. Here's a good one.

Sounds like an opinion on the war between the sexes to me.

Grandma was itching for a war but we all had the sense to just let it fly by.
