After all of my blood, sweat, tears, and fears...

[Hobbits Mommie]

Three of my sister's are Rhode Island Red mixes, and one is a black Easter Egger(so they are mutts to ), hoping for an egg at 20 weeks, but the RIRs are quite slow to mature.
I remember the feeling of checking on my silkies one morning to find an egg in the coop! It is such an exciting moment!

I really had given up on getting any until spring so it was a complete surprise. I couldn't have been happier if it'd of been a diamond ring, for real. I have put so much into these sweet birds. Now just to keep everybody happy & healthy.
