    Countdown to the first egg *Just For Fun*

    Here's a fun little distraction. My two young pullets - both born May 28th - will PROBABLY start laying sometime in mid-to-late October. At least that's my hope. Everyone who wishes to participate is welcome in this guessing game. There's 2 different things to guess. 1) choose which one you...

    Wyandottes youngster confusion

    2 weeks ago, I went out to get the mail when I heard soft clucking from my side yard. I went to investigate and there stood a pair of Wyandottes in the shade of my privet. Well, hello.
