OMG, my landlord (after initially giving the OK) showed up today and freaked! Eviction notice if we don't jettison everything animal related ASAP. Sucks...but don't want to get evicted.....so everything must go. All supplies are pretty much new and all animals were sought out to be the...
I just picked up 5 FABULOUS and HUGE Australorps, 8 months old and just started laying 2 months ago. They are hefty and very healthy, although shy.
