Let's hope they hatch alright!

halfway across Great Britain is not particularly far. You could fit nearly two Great Britains in just the state I live in, Montana. How many hours would the travel take? :lau

before the tiger bronze came, I had no penciling in the flock. There is a chance that the hen might be a cornish instead of a sweetgrass, she is a turkey raised turkey from last year. i stole all 13 poults because of the downpour predicted for this evening, and I am glad I did because it was a...
