Every time I've googled a question about raising a flock, I find a thread on BYC with great information. It's gotten to the point that I scroll through the search results looking for the BYC one! Today I finally had a question I couldn't find an answer to in the search so I decided it was time to join and ask you all in person

Here's a picture of Elmer and Daisy! We thought Elmer was a boy when we named her because of a curled tail feather but then one day her tail feather straightened out and she started laying eggs.... haha!
