On the right edge of the pool...

Happy Mama of 4-yr-olds twins also raising 15 chickens (4 Red Stars, 1 NH, 2 BR, 1 EE, 1 Leghorn X, 2 Lav Orps, 1 BSL, 3 new bantams), 5 ducks (2 Black Swedish, 2 Pekins, 1 Fawn and White Runner), 2 dogs, and 2 cats.

Awwww, soooo cute!!! Yeah, I'm thinking I have a fawn and white indian runner. I'm not positive Nona is a welsh harlequin, but I'm thinking she probably is. Their colors are getting so cool!! My camera is out of battery juice but as soon as I remember to buy some I'll get some pics posted.
