the new babies are the cutest & we are keeping every finger & toe crossed that they actually turn out to be hens (the older hens are not impressed)

relatedly: I simply must have a calico hen to match with the cat, so if anyone has connections to a millie satin silkie or jubilee bantam cochin or mille fleur d'uccle or similar in the atlanta area, I would be so grateful

oh fancy, perhaps a lost cousin of big bird’s? speaking of decorated animals, meant to ask re: buttoned eels: any relation to the ancient art of adorning eels with jewels??history has so many mysteries
