Guess what I got today?

[KingsCalls]

They're black.........they're smaller than standard chickens.........they lay well...........they are calm birds...they come in about 5 colors........and the most common color is a golden color.
I got a trio of them from the President of the club named after this breed.

O.K. O.K. O.K. Now since some of you have had a chance to guess and wiggle a little and squirm and sweat and hyperventilate and etc. etc.

They are so beautiful and the roo was so calm while being handled as were the hens.
