The 9 types of combs recognized by the American Poultry Association
Heyyyyyy wait, that’s only eight! I was robbed, random internet article!
I know what you’re thinking: what is that there purty Satan bird with the wicked horns and where can I get me one of them? From the link, I guess it’s either an Appenzeller, Crevecoeur, Houdan, La Fleche or Sultan. Yeah, I dunno either.
Not obvious in the picture: the strawberry comb is more of a raspberry comb, with a deep indentation in the middle. Couldn’t help thinking about all the shit that would get in there and get infected and stuff.
Chickens have the best resting bitchfaces in the aminal kingdom, don’t they?
The Labour Party is descending into farce. Jeremy Corbyn is a bugfuck-crazy Marxist Bernie Sanders type. He won party leadership by a huge margin because the chirruns love him, but he’s electoral poison. The other Labour MP’s have tried in vain to kick him out of the nest, so they put his deputy up to run against him for leadership. In fact, they weren’t even going to put his name on the ballot at all, but they lost their nerve on that. The chirruns would kill them. They’re already throwing bricks through his challenger’s headquarters window.
I’d enjoy the hell out of this if the Tories weren’t such shit right now.
See? I’ll make you beg for chikken blogging!

“Braak!” The county judge’s wife was about five feet, ninety pounds but when she sneezed it rocked the rafters at church. I saw her putting out scratch for her hens once and the dust got her. It looked like she blew every one of those sisters off the ground.

Vote to leave EU and get punished with a pro EU PM, pro EU MPs, and pro EU press.

I don’t know, that walnut comb chook looks distinctly progressive to me.

My goodness, but those are boring and unimaginative names! I propose a rebellion against the dreary establishment nomenclature. And the nomenklatura as well, while we’re at it.
Buttercup – Uptwinkle Comb
Cushion – Combover Comb
Rose – Deco Streamliner Comb
Single – Ripsaw Comb
Strawberry – Bad Toupee Comb

The comb identified as a “Rose Comb” is in fact a “Spiked Rose Comb.” Imagine it without the extension in the back, and you have a “Rose Comb,” your missing ninth comb.

Thank you, Bat. I wondered about that spike. I hadn’t seen it on a rose comb before.

No politics in a chicken discussion? Mention “pecking order” to some back bencher MPs. Ask U.S. Congressional pages and interns to contrast and compare their paychecks with chicken feed.

In 1754 the Fairfield Ct militia mustered with British regulars in the town center before taking out to attack the French and native allies in northern New York State.
The regulars laughed at the militia for their un-soldier like appearance. This upset the Governors’ daughter, Miss Fitch, so much she returned to the farm (not far away, currently under interstate 95, and plucked chicken tail feathers for the men to sport in their hats.
(The story behind the song Yankee Doodle).
What kind of chickens did she have?
My money is on the Hanover.
