    Blue Bijou & Blue hens... a Splash too? Bijou will get another chance at mousing soon. If there's one field mouse, there's at least a dozen more lurking nearby!

    Time to plan ahead for any future health risks that may beFALL you. For balance I sometimes used a quad cane on each hand at the same time if on uneven ground, trained myself not to shuffle walk, & raise my feet as I walked to not catch a shoe on a crack or hole in the ground.

    BR's & Dominiques are so worth having more than one ~like @featherhead007 has. They don't lay monstrous eggs & are a fair to middlin' egg layer so reproductive issues are non-existent & they don't have huge floppy combs/wattles to freeze/worry about in winter. The real plus is their flock...
