That was a close call for sure. He was close to death from blood lose. I couldn't get the bleeding to stop. I have someone that has a flock of free range turkeys coming to get her this evening. She should be happy.

I have proof now that the two first eggs and the hen I caught laying the slightly longer third egg is the same hen. I got the egg on the far right today. It was out of the pen with the 3 BC hens and the blcm pullet. I have saved those two eggs to compare. Yay! The mystery is finally solved! Lol Such a pretty egg! That is a good sign that I had another in the blcm pen laying a dark spotted egg. It is long though but dark and spotted.

This makes me want more pens but I do not have the room. I actually have the room but I don't want to haul water down the hillside. Nice hen house Chooks man!

Hello everyone!
I have got my first black copper marans ever (she was meant to be a golden cuckoo, but never mind) and I was wondering what how close to standed she is.
Could anyone help be out?
