Check this out. First time I have ordered eggs all the way from Florida. Wow! The packing. I had read remarkable comments on their packing, so took a chance from that far..I want some NN'S! There were newspaper too... underneath the big brown egg carton. One egg had a crack..weak shell when I opened it to check fertility..only reason it was cracked. Big ol bullseye!

Thank you. She seems off to me, but it’s subtle. I’ll get a better idea this weekend when I can actually spend time with them.

Yep. That’s what they look like to me too.

This article has knocked me off my perch. Wow, who ever wrote it is a genius

There are some very good articles on BYC but you have to wade through a lot of crap to find them.

Hello!! Just a quick check in, I've been busy helping with vision screenings for the incoming kindergartens.

I did manage to let the chooks out for a bit before dark today. Ned and Rex had a bit of a tussle this afternoon. No one was hurt but Rex has learned that Ned gets as much room as he wants with his ladies.

A moment later, Rex was yawning not trying to eat Ned.

That Ned isn't scared then.

Well this particular article will be forever used by me and if I am lucky enough to meet other chicken people I will certainly share this find
