Jealous! I’ll get them when we have more land. I’m afraid they’ll wander into the neighbors yard.

Totally! I’ve been knocking myself out trying to keep them on our 10 acres!

Holy smokes. Curious little things. They look amazingly odd up close, but pretty from far away. I think they’re so unique.

My pullets are leading my girls astray LOL they’re real wanderers and go deep into the woods or way out into the middle of the front yard, etc. and the older girls follow them lol

Hope you don’t lose them again!

I hope not too!! They keep going in the middle of the front yard (a huge bowl) with no shelter

At least some of them.

Wheaten Marans eggs arrived today! @Vantic (my review per request ) The eggs were well packed, big box with lots of tightly crumpled newspaper and packing peanuts, and eggs were individually wrapped in bubble wrap - not really any loose space. The box arrived without any damage, but had an extra day shipping as it got stuck at a sorting facility. The eggs were shipped on their side (which I am not a fan of). Initial candle of the eggs showed some wobbly air cells and 1 saddled air cell, but not too terrible (I've had eggs show up with air cells much worse than these). 1 egg has a slight hairline crack...but it looks more like one of the cracks that happens before it is laid and gets repaired as there is a bit of a ridge where the crack is and I cannot catch my finger on it. I will probably still wax over it because I noticed it didn't fully repair - there are a couple spots that look like huge pores on the crack line. Overall, I am pleased with the packing.

I wish mine would go into the woods. Or the pasture. Instead they persist in scratching the bark dust out of my flower beds and climbing into my planters to murder my flowers (or in this week's case, my poor tiny tomato plants). They have several acres they could freely roam, tons of bugs and tasty plants everywhere. I guess they must be city chickens, I have to lock them up or they spend all day hanging out on my porch
