Thanks for rescuing hens in need.

Someone who rescues hens, loves nature and has a garden -- you are a great addition to this community! And I LOVE your dog's name.

My flock also includes a Bluebell (accidental house bird) and a Speckled Sussex (the friendliest hen who always wants to "help" with my outdoor projects). Sounds like your flock is beautiful in its diversity.

Welcome to BYC, Abonzo!
