Congratulations Terri, great story! Congratulations SChunn on the great hatch rate and cute chicks!
I voted for the Flappers and Celeb Lookalike, was sooo hard to pick just one!
I was given 3 green eggs from a hen who was a silkie x ameraucana. The 3 chicks were such a funny mix of traits, 1 had 5 toes each foot and muffs and beard, 1 has 4 toes each foot but feathered legs, a crest, muff and beard and turquoise ears, the last has an extra toe on one foot and big...
I've been missing the tool bar that has the smilies and font changers and most important the thing to add pics, since Fri. Now I can finally post a pic. These are 2 OEs (I think)
