    The original ones are 2 pounders. Roosters are loud, ornery, but the hens are sweet. Every summer barred rock or leghorns would get wiped out by hawks. These guys are going on their second year. All black to look like crows and I think it works. Even attracts crows. Mixing them with some "mutt"...

    What should I do with all these eggs?

    Hi, I make egg, cheese, sausage burritos and wrap them up for the freezer. A minute in the microwave and they disappear within a week. I never hear, "mom I'm hungry".
