Nikki (picanins} took a picture of the caterpillar so maybe she will post it later. I have never seen a caterpillar like this before. 

I wish I had an egg sitter living close to me!

Catdance has some 6 month old pullets for sale@  $50 each. I think I will just pick up eggs...it'll be fun hatching them. I guess I could sell the rest.
