    i really appreciate your article and chart. Very helpful and I thought of it today because I burned my rice today, and I’m not sure if my pot will ever recover. But I salvaged the unburned portion, mixed it with a can of black beans, and served it to the girls. They loved being my little...

She has some gray speckles around her neck. Her legs are white. She lays large eggs. I don't know too much about her. She was found...
