Who lays those super dark ones?

My French BCM. I am breeding them for almost 20 years now.

I let some of my polish out while I filled waterers yesterday.

Yes, of course! But striving to breed according to SOP as well.

Your cute rooster seems to be in dire need of some feather trimming, no eyes to be seen.

Yeah, I do need to trim him. Polish seems to have that issue. I am still recovering from trimming hubby's hair, lol

I have reduced the amount of chickens and the breeds I keep/breed significantly, as with progressing age it gets more and more cumbersome and thus would be difficult to hold up my standard for hygiene etc.

One important thing I learned over the years: The bare amount of chickens does not necessarily equal to the amount of fun one experiences, sometimes 'less' is much better with regard to the overall quality!

No, his hair hasn't been that long since I met him!

Good morning Cafe. Ahh day light savings time again. I slept in today but kinda planned it when the youngest had a fever last night. No church today. He wasn't feeling it all day yesterday and I guess that's why.
