    Update: Dog Attack and Lessons Learned

    For those who don't know what happened. My hens were attacked, two killed, two seriously hurt about a month ago. Lesson #1: People lie. The lady said she'd tie up her dogs after the attack.

    Khaki Campbell Ducky Names

    My little brown fluff balls are now 5 days old and I really think it's time to name the peepers. I'm 99.9% sure they are females and was thinking Adele (after the woman who developed the breed) and Naomi Campbell. :P Too cliche?
