Hey Trav. It was just about as weird as it gets. I would really like a break from 'weird' to be honest. Research is the only way to go when it comes to trying to make sense of things.Mumsy, sorry about the cockerel. That was weird. I have no input on the cause, and I like you do a lot of research. Love the Silkie pics though. Gonna do a shoot tomorrow of my kids. Some may get baths first.
Mikkles: I will probably forget by this fall when they may begin laying. Shoot me a PM to remind me and I will see what I can do.
Friday: Port Townsend is just across the pond from me! I love it over there. I really like your set up for those pullets. Sweet! Yep. It is green and lush here because of the rain. Just the way I want it. I never have to worry about blizzards, tornadoes, drought, wild fires, gang violence, air pollution or insane traffic. When the sun comes out, my little patch of earth on this island is a sanctuary in paradise.
Going to the farmers tilthe tomorrow to sell lettuce, kale, and onions from the garden and pullets from the barnyard chicken pen. Supposed to reach 80 degrees this weekend! *Whoop!!!*
