God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)

She's still a she, don't worry. Just maturing and getting ready to kick out some nice brown eggs for you.

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 would say hen, she might be ready to lay and that is why her comb sprouted a comb and wattle, and they reddened.
