    I have a young cockerel (d'Anvers) that has always been odd.

    I've never had a chick without built in GPS

    I have a new coop/run for my bantams that were born the day after Easter and every night I have to use a "funnel" system to herd them up the ramp into the coop.

    Some pics of my Hens and my two dogs

    Yup there is still some snow here in Nottingham, NH but the girls just love to get out and about. We have almost three acres but they insist on hanging out in the driveway.
