Hey there everybody. I haven't been here in a really long time. I see that there are still some familiar folks here, to whom I say, hello again. To everyone else, I look forward to getting to know ya. I dropped out for a while after I lost my entire flock of 9 Crested Cream Legbars to a pack of coons. It had to be a group because they didn't leave much. I had a trio of bearded white silkies, and they were free ranging in my yard one weekend and all three vanished in one day leaving only some feathers behind. I suspect a large red-tail hawk that I have seen a couple of times since. I was left with 6 olive egger hens. I have to admit, I gave up for a while. I obtained some young Lakenvelders last summer and now I have 3 adult hens and a rooster and am collecting eggs daily. I also purchased a pair of Calico Cochins and a pair of Golden Pheonix. My incubator is setting on 41 assorted eggs, a few of all of the above. I think I have relapsed
