    This afternoon I picked up my sick girl and I noticed her crop was real full and soft. so I started to massage it and water started to come out of her mouth. So I thought sour crop.

    I have or have had eight different breeds. I go for different colors of chickens. But when I choose a breed it HAS to be considered an excellent or above average layer. I find that golden sexlinks, white leghorns and Bl. Australorps are my best year around layers.
