Debbi, all my boys have been a little cocky since we had a cool snap in our weather. They mellowed out this last week when it warmed back up and tomorrow it is supposed to start cooling back off again so I am curious to see what happens.

Well, glad to hear I'm not alone in this!

The one real bad boy is in solitary this evening, and he's not quite so brave now! The other two brothers are enjoying the comfort of their sisters.

Let me know how you fare through the cold snap!

I don't believe that Marans carry a chocolate gene? I may be well wrong there saying that! Got any pics??
