A bantam Wheaten Ameraucana with a single chick, she is locked up in the top of my green tractor since she needs a small area to brood in.

Eggs don't always matter. I raise silkies, which actually lay quite well when not broody. Problem is mine go broody on average 3 times a year. And because they aren't hatchery birds, they start laying at around 9 months. They do lay through the darkest, dreariest December so I always have at least some eggs even if it takes three per large in a recipe.

I'm trying to decide between this pair of poultry poodles on which boy to keep. I have months to decide. They are only 10 weeks.

I love how bumblebees are so laid back. Stick my phone in their faces and they just ignore me. The catnip is covered right now. I feel bad that more didn't come up this year because they love it.
