They r happyFirst of all in regards to starting a new thread and the OP. Looks like Bettacreek will be the new OP. I have asked her to plan on doing the new thread on Sunday. There are several people who have offered to help Bettacreek with the swap. I have left that up to her on how to use helpers. It has been my honor to run the swap and work with you all. Thank you all for making the swap what is it and thank you Bettacreek for stepping forward to be the next WYGS OP.Now I will air my little irk for the day. Most of you know I have tons of birds. We have a poultry area that includes a converted dairy barn, lofting shed, and several other small coops. There are over 300 birds in this area. Anyway I have four birds a Buckeye hen, naked Buff Orpington hen, ugly little black hen of some unknown background, and my retired Golden Laced Project rooster that on their own decided to leave the poultry area and move to the calving barn over a year ago. These birds are all three years or older. Half the time I forget to give them food or water, they are not locked up so an owl or coyote could get them,, they wonder about under the cows legs, go in with the cows when they have tiny calves so I am amazed that they are still alive. Here's my irk these hens are my most loyal layers. Almost every day there are 3 eggs in their nest area. They took a small break during the winter for about six weeks. I am begging my Legbars & Rhodebars for an egg. I have tons of Orpingtons of various colors (upwards of 60 hens) I got 3 eggs today from them.. What gives with this????
