Birds aren't really my thing but I'd assume not because if it was the case the chicken industry wouldn't hatch so many waste males. I know it's the case with a lot of amphibians and geckos but that's as far as my knowledge on the subject goes I'm afraid 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yeppers. It was the chickens thing that somewhat gave the game away to me. Just as well. Only last night I put in for another case of day old's. Would make my foxes expensive, if they could just lower the temps and the males. Dunno what Francie would make of all this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great wee things they are, my aunt used to have a couple of fecking massive Sulcatas that had the run of her garden and a heated shed proper characters they were.
