Whoa! That Birch grew moss! I haven’t heard much about chahouas, but that colour change is wild and it’s making me curious.

Thanks for spelling correction @t_h_wyman. I always thought it was “genic” and I learned something today!

Please do not feel like I was saying you are not smart. As with many things in the hobby, this word/concept is often mispronounced/misrepresented due to bad information from back in the old days by “Big Names” and perpetuated forward. I figured a slight edit was an easy correct that would fly under the radar. 100% was not meant to be taken as me calling you out

All good! I didn’t take it personally. I try not to take myself too seriously so just poking a little fun at myself.

Yeah, I remember being briefly confused because I’d heard people say both “ontogenic” and “ontogenetic,” so for a while I wasn’t sure which was correct.

There are too many to do. XD I threw in my favorites. I might do a few cresties in the next post.

Oh no! Button quail :heart:
I miss having adorable little peeps. I don’t have an incubator for the bird eggs up currently…and my quail are terrible parents.

Awwwww! Gorgeous mind blowing corns! The little peep “morphed” into such a pretty little quail!
