I do not know who did the testing and not wanting
to start an argument, perhaps JC Nails do glow in the
dark.
I raise them and have for several years. In fact
I have 8 week-old GJF chicks in a brooder, on my kitchen table. (yep, just an
old single Batch)
I am out at the bird pens after dark doing
security checks more nights than not and have never seen any of the "glow
in the dark" theory alluded to.
Now they do refract light differently than do
normal hackle or any other feather that I have seen. But trust me, they do not
glow in the dark.
After playing with these interesting birds for as
many years as I have, I still am fascinated by the way they are
formed.
The males must be 2 years old before the eye
takes on the color we tiers want/need. The cape hackle molt and are replaced by
a hackle feather that is black and this is called an eclipse molt. Eventually
the good one comes in and presto we have a marvel of nature. It is not a "get
rich project" and they are one of the more difficult to propagate birds I have
raised.
Sorry if I may have stepped on any toes, not my
intention at all. Just wanted to tell it like it is.
