Good morning and thanks for the coffee!
Hugs for tomorrow... and today, Penny!
I am off to take DH to one of his friend's house for the weekend. I think they are getting rain like we are so no fire danger to be worrying about with the holiday campers.
Hopefully the cat will not go psycho with coffee withdrawals!

I can't believe I'm doing this but it is definitely in the best interest of my exploding flock. I am rehoming 2 of my 5 year old hens to someone who posted here looking for companions for her now lone hen because her alpha hen passed. I am letting her gave Mystic and MaeDae, hatch & half sisters. Their father was Captain. They are both Easter Eggers. Someone, every year, has been plucking out Mystic's beard. I have never seen who is doing it. But she is the only muffed/bearded bird with her beard plucked out. Hopefully it isn't MaeDae! I think Mystic would do better in a smaller flock but I don't want her going alone. I see her and Mae hanging out often so I think they are buddies.

Both of these girls are still laying. And they are laying blue eggs. I don't think I would easily confuse their eggs with the Ameraucanas eggs early on because of the size difference but the chance exists and I think my hatching egg customers would be quite understandably upset to get an EE egg in their purebred Ameraucana egg order. Another reason to choose these two to reduce the flock size.
