Egluntyne Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Heredity? You will be able to pick her out in the crowd at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 What exactly are wattles for? Are they a sort of way for the chickens too get rid of excess body heat? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Aphro has one long and one short wattle too and we think she's adorable . She's the easiest to identify out of the Sussex Girls, bless her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 My old Cochin also has one long wattle and one short one. It would only be a problem if you wanted to put your hen in a show: I imagine you would lose points for asymmetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 apparently, most women have one boob bigger than the other too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Tara F, I was about to say the exact same thing! Like many people, one of my feet is a half-size bigger than the other. Otherwise I'd be a multi-millionaire by now.... actually it's not something I notice and I imagine your chicken feels the same way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
