I picked them up as point-of-lay pullets from the place I buy my chook food. I also have a geriatric Langshan (I think) who still produces the occasional egg.

Couldn't find anything there that was me .... or maybe it was just the 82kB/week dial-up "service" we have here. Anyway, you've goaded me into looking again at getting an avatar of some sort. Anything has to be better that just a dumb question-mark. ;-) Kim [1 & 2]:

I don't doubt it. It's the main topic covered in the first chapter of the Wannabe Fauxgressive's Handbook. In my edition it's just after the section on feigning an interest in buddhism, but that may have been replaced with something else in more recent editions. “Mind you, the complete ineffectiveness of the snag/metero gambit doesn’t seem to stop certain young men from trying it on every time O-week rolls around at a University Near You.”

Mark, really, I'm OK; thanks for your concern. See that semi colon? I'm even at ease with my sexuality. “I think they may be barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.”
