I am an avid vegetarian who decided that I cannot eat factory farmed eggs with a conscience, hence my own egg layers! They have become more than pets and I love to watch them and heed their hilarious personalities. I have 2 giant Cochins and one RIR and black sex-link (Luna, Noche, Ginger and Sesame). I would love to have more, perhaps an australorp and polish, but will be needing to get a full acreage before I get too crazy... as they have already pecked my small yard to smitherines!
