Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,

& from Alabama. Glad you joined us. We have a couple of Wheaten Marans hens and a Black Copper roo. The girls just started laying last month, and wow, I wasn't expecting their eggs to be as pretty as they are in person. Good luck with yours
