I just put one in this morning to...

I moved from NYC to a small farm in Norway 6 years ago.
We have had what we were told are Italian brown hens for about 3 years. (Every once in a while an eagle gets one because we like to let them out and explore)
This year we are trying out Araucana and Wyandotte.
I really appreciate being...
