    I have 4 hens, 1 Autralorp, 1 BR, 1 Orpington, and 1 Wyandotte. The orpington doesnt act like the others in the sense that when I am outside, the otehr 3 will go off and dustbathe in a corner of the yard, and Orpie runs to me and wont leave my side. When I put her back with her flock, she...

    Looking to buy a quilt!

    I am looking to buy a quilt, of any kind really. Do you know of any one who is selling? Any pics? Thanks! Ideally I would like one to fit nicely on a twin size bed, but that isnt a deciding factor. And any color would do, I like old fashion patterns and intricate, busy designs.
