It’s much more than just a sick bird. Jaffar is the only roo for all the tribe. I wouldn’t be able to control his ladies without him. And he’s a wonderful friend and family member of mine. (I fear for losing him)

After @Ribh had her Barred Rock turn into a white leghorn I've started getting concerned that Lilly might turn into a Barred rock when she molts this fall.

Sorry Bob, if I spilled the beans about your cherished gift.

It was never a secret my friend.

@ChicoryBlue I just printed them from my phone on my home printer with photo paper. My daughter uses an online service to print her photos of Eve. I can find out what service she uses if it would help you out or you want a recommendation.
