Here Granny, just got back in from chicken chores and took some pics for you.

I really like the 2 legbars, but they're timid.

They lay pretty eggs though!

Love your blue and Speckled Sussex. ❤

oooooooo, me too, Wishing. Gorgeous birds. I love Speckled Sussex just lovely sweet birds. Had one that I lost to Marek's that was a heart breaker to lose. She was just such a wise little hen, calm, nothing flustered her.

Are those Welsummer hens I see also? Yeah, I know I could go back and find your post but I'm cooking dinner and this is more fun.

We got welsummers and Amerucaunas coming from cackle in June.

Yes the purebred not the EE XD

Only down side about Wellys is good luck candling the eggs. Other than using a flood light it's pretty much mission impossible to candle anything over a week into gestation.

I would candle in a closet that was totally dark at about day 5 just to try to catch a glimmer of movement and after that, well it was anybody's guess.

Those eggs are just so darn dark.

We got some high power flash lights from dad's job so may have a small chance

This hen lived to be 10. Sweetest personality.

Okay, @CapricornFarm, got the pictures of the rock.

The thing is about as big as a small cantaloupe. It was a real joy to carry uphill back to the house in my treasure bag with the other rocks I found.

I tried to get a close up picture of the quartz lacing in it in the upper photo. Like I said, the closest thing I can find to matching it is lace quartz but then I'm no expert, just a happy rock hunter.

I have not seen anything like this! Still learning about rocks. Sadly, i don't have a buddy to rock hound with me. And i have so many other interests, they take up a lot of my time. So i have not been to any meetings of clubs.

I noticed an egg in the incubator has a crack. So i will be duct taping that tonight. I candled it, and it is developing.
First use of the incubator this year.

A wonderful dinner my wife has made for us. Waffles with our own fresh made maple syrup, sausage and home grown eggs.
