Episode 298 Jubilee Orpington Chicken / Eye Injuries in Poultry / Peaches and Cream Layer Cake / Garlic

There are chickens that have speckles.

Chickens that have speckles.

Yes, they do.

But they're not, they're not, I repeat, they're not a Speckled Sussex.

[laughs] Oh.

So this is time for this week's Breed Spotlight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[laughs]

I, I know it is, it is one of your pet peeves, and I totally get this.

When you put up one of our Jubilee Orpingtons and people say, "That's a Speckled Sussex," and you say, "No, it's not." And I say in private, "You just put the hashtag up that says Jubilee Orpington, and someone is still saying it's a Speckled Sussex."

Yep.

So these are the things that take up our time sometimes.

[laughs]

Our thought process.

That's all we can handle.

The biggest thing we can handle some days is-

Here's the thing.

This week's bre- Breed Spotlight, the Jubilee Orpington, it has, I think, ranked up there one of the best chicken names out there.

Jubilee.

Mm-hmm.

Because Jubilee means happiness and joy and all the things, and it's an Orpington, and it's speckled.

It might be one of my all-time favorite chickens.

It just might be.

I'm down to one because I did lose Queen Elizabeth a few months back, and that was rough and I still miss her every day.
