My daughters nd granddaughter showed up today with cranberry and Brussel sprouts. Made the girls and boy a Christmas garland treat. They were very curious. Anxious to see how much they consume today.
I was given this chicken but the owner didn’t know the breed. And….neither do I. She looks a little like my silver laced Wyandottes but not completely. Something different about her. can anyone tell me? Thanks
