Why "Mormon island" as the name? Haha

It was started by Mormon Prospectors during the Gold Rush. The Article said it had several thousand residents at one time but only had several families living there in the 1940s when Folsom Dam was built.

Amazing History!

Go gold rush!

I'll help Ron out and not be the only enabler. Here are eggs from my two newest layers, one olive egger and one welsummer: They beg to be hatched! But I'm not doing it..............yet. (still growing out juvies) Besides, the welsummer isn't in my breeding flock yet, so hatching them wouldn't do me any good. I think Ron and Deb have us all beat in being hatch-a-holics.

Beautiful eggs!!

Anyone else hoping for some rain? There is a wild fire burning in the Ishi wilderness in eastern tehama county....in January! DH got called into work to help fight it. I also found a report that some of our local water wells are already in "alert" status. Trisha

Oh yes we need rain! It's feels wrong not having it

Thanks for all the compliments on my eggs everyone.

We are working on a Penedesenca U.S.A website. It should be up soon
I am trying to get more history from Professor Francesch in Spain. He helped save the breed
then we will be up and running. I may have some of the
Crele Penedesenca x U of A blue layer 1st crosses soon.

That's awesome! I'll be watching to see how you like the UofA crosses. Please post pics, I'm sure they'll be gorgeous and would love to see them
