LOL... Pound for pound Drafts eat fewer calories than light horses. Shes my big goober. Helps with the chores by Moving the tools to a better location.... LOL usually the middle of the corral. Funny to see a big ole horse walking off with the shovel. Or putting a hoof on the shovel and watching the handle lift up off the ground... Over and over and over again. Or letting the chickens sit on her back.

My broody Just hatched her babies!!!!! They are Orpingtons. I have one left to go. Can you tell what colors they are going to be. I mean can you tell the difference between the black and blue Orpington.
