    Spring Chicks!

    I ordered my first chicks from Meyer last July and my hens are finally starting to lay from that group. Silver spangled hamburg, speckled sussex, dominique, golden cuckoo marans and golden laced wyandotte. All have been great and I was pleasantly surprised at how dark the eggs from my cuckoo...
