We hand raised this beautiful 18 Week Old Rooster. He’s calm enough to be handled and smart enough to make a great addition to Your Flock. He resembles his Father a beautiful White Orpington. We’re keeping his brother as our second Rooster, and this guy needs a good home before it’s time for Freezer Camp! Call 902-907-0770.
So, You like Dinosaurs! Wouldn’t it be interesting if You could see one? Of Course it would! Right?
Now, perhaps You know, or You’ve heard, that Chickens are related to, or descendants of, Dinosaurs! Of course that’s not true! Is it?
It’s interesting that Earth Buddies refers to a Scientific Study and says…
“The scientists were also comparing the DNA of a Mastodon fossil to modern days animals and the result was amazing. They found that the proteins found in the T-Rex fossil were most similar to those of chickens, and the mastodon were most similar to modern day elephants.”
So, it would be easy to assume that Chickens may be descendants of Dinosaurs! Right?
Now, further compounding this assumption is National Geographic when it states that…
“fossils of its hind limbs in addition to its skull—has features similar to both ducks and chickens, suggesting it was related to the shared ancestor of both groups.”
However, and thankfully, Randy, over at Randy’s Chicken Blog, looked at this and found some interesting information regarding Chickens and Dinosaurs. Then after carefully weighing the evidence draws the conclusion that…
“Chickens are dinosaurs.” Pretty much every evolutionary biologist and paleontologist worth their salt long ago came to the conclusion that birds are descended directly from dinosaurs. And chickens, of course, are birds. Today it has become generally accepted by scientists that birds are not descended from dinosaurs, but, in fact, are dinosaurs.
So, if You like Dinosaurs, we invite You to come to Bear River to see our Dinosaurs at Briden Farm, where the Tea is Always On and The Coffee is not far behind!
Yes, we know! Roosters don’t lay eggs! However, a month or so ago when we were only getting one egg a day, from our Youand Pullets, I jokingly asked our Rooster Buddy to teach the Hens to lay Eggs! Since then he’s been doing a good job of it! He sometimes sits in the nest, he stands guard when the new Hens start to lay, and he even clicks along with them when they accomplish their task! Now if only He’d teach them to lay in the Coop and not the Carport! There’s never a dull day when you have chickens!
