I'm so sorry that you lost your friend Roxie.

Yes, they are part of the family and it is devastating when they leave us behind. I am so sorry for your darling Roxie and big hugs to you and your family.

Those little Silver Campines look like they're wearing leopard skins.

Congrats Dana!!!!
I had a fabulous hatch from Dak's eggs too!

There are actually seven blacks from Dak - Kristin and I missed one when I picked up chicks yesterday. Yes, I'm very happy with the hatch rate, and her babies are adorable.

My girls have worms!!!!!

What's the cheapest, easiest way to murder those little life stealers? I looked at the droppings. Looks like tapeworm.

Thanks!
