    White Leghorn?

    Brown/Yellow Muscous in Eye Ended Up Being a Puncture

Kids are very attached so giving him away isn't an...

    Got our first six barred rocks from the local feed store. Oh, and one extra. One of them turned out to be a male! We found a nice coop though (image attached). Made to order by some Amish folks. Very sturdy.
