I sure do appreciate all of the very welcoming messages. We currently have LF Black Ameraucanas, EEs, RIRs, SLW, NHs, BRs, and Brahmas (hubby gave me the abbreviations - LOL - so I would look like I knew what I was talking about)! I keep asking him if he plans on just specializing on one or two breeds, like the NHs (current just have 1 hen & 1 rooster), but when you look at the others with their own individual beauty, I think it would be hard to choose! Guess I have become attached.
Oh yeah, we also have a son, a married daughter and our first granddaughter - June. Our home is kept interesting with 2 very demanding and loving, 3 year old Brittany Spaniels - Molly & Buddy.
