I wasn’t going to weigh in on the Mac/PC/Android debate, but I’m firmly in the Mac camp. I love that I can create documents on my iMac and access them on my phone. And yes, I do everything on my phone as well.

Chicken tax:

That is not unique to a Mac even though Apple might tell you it is. I move between phone, tablet, and computer seamlessly. In fact most long posts are created just that way, especially Mr. Peabody posts.

If your not starting off then how many birds will you have total?

Yes, from my memory, Lilly's initial eggs were pretty dark. I don't know if I cab locate pictures of any. She sure does look like a Maran though.

Agree she looks very Maran!

I am not starting off I had them for about four years and I am only 18

Steal away! I named her after Beaker from the muppets, as she has a little fuzz of feathers on her head, and squeaks similar to how Beaker ‘talked.’ Yet I also call her ‘little’ as she’s the youngest, or Speedy as she is very quick-she has to be to get her food without getting scolded. She will practically climb on top of everyone else to get her treats. At this point I think the others have given up reprimanding her and just roll their eyes. It’s too hot to bother!

Love it! If I had thought of it, this would be my Beaker. She is Sunny or Sunshine and just passed through over my lap. Ironically, she likes to get UNDER her flock mates. She just loves it like a chick goes under its mama. It’s hilarious and the others are not impressed, but somewhat tolerate her antics.
