The flock

The rescued flock is fitting in and doing great along with our original flock. A couple have died, one was seemingly healthy and was giving us a blue egg everyday. We found her dead for no apparent reason. The old one with an infection in her eye recently died. She had other issues, she was loosing weight and tipped over frequently. She was otherwise very happy, ate, drank and stuck up for herself with the others. She loved to be held and the week before she died all the horse kids spent a lot of time snuggling her. The day before she died she sat on the big swing with me and our friend Ritchie. She died peacefully and we are happy that her last couple months were spent free and happy.

Our twins...inseparable.


from the rescued flock, fat and healthy now.

Amazing blue eyed Orphington.

Momma to the black baby

The black baby..looks much like a hawk when you see her.

The rooster has all his feathers now, daddy to the black baby
