Dark by 6, you should try dark by 4

I thought dark by 5:00 was bad enough

I don't think I posted some of my Icelandic flock enjoying the nice fall days we have been having.

The big advantage i have is in 10 miles away from the central time Zone (I'm as far west as the eastern time Zone goes) and in far north as far as the lower 48 is concerned.... So we're lighter later than most everyone else.
In the summer it stays light till 11....i love it.

it looked like a Lavender, but yours is more silver to my grey.

Dax I have some lavender orps and got both the silver and the grey in my hatch. They're such good birds!

STILL sitting here I'm my box.... Watching blue Jays

Well, it is a beautiful view!

Did you know they were all coming that quickly??

Well, I knew they were close, but I picked two does out of a herd of fifty pregnant does due between October and January first. I really was blessed to get two that were only two days apart. These two are both does so from my two new does I got three doeling and one well marked buckling. They should sell well.
