    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Welcome Drake. Try clipping one of her wings so she can't roost so high. On a different note. Today I started incubating 17 eggs. I should be getting some black sex links soon, and some other random mixes. Black Australorp, buff Orpington, EE, SLW, and the sex links will be from my 3 barred...
