 2011 was the coldest summer in Western Washington's recorded history that started in 1891. Uf Da!!!

June 2012 was the coldest June in recorded history. I need some sun.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

I bought her from a woman in the country who had a ton of chickens. Thanks for the info again!

morticia isn't a barred rock, she is a girl though.  I think ugly and the other barred rock are both girls. (ugly is questionable though bc the head spot is so blotchy...) Risky to go against the grain, I know, but I got baby barred rocks back in september and was on pins and needles for months because mine had large combs that pinked early.  Mine are all girls for sure now, and yours look just like mine did. hope this helps.
