Chicks!

It is that time of year again, here at Willow Garden ... the time of year when I begin to think about animal protein for sustenance! So ... last Thursday, I picked up 60 meat birds to raise ... free range and all naturally, of course.
And a while ago I got some rare(r) breeds of chicks to raise up as egg layers. Above is a Black Langshorn.
And this one is a Cukoo Moran.
Here is a pair of Partridge Plymouth Rocks. I have no desire to keep a rooster, so I may see if someone is interested in a breeding pair.
These are Silver Grey Dorkings.
And this is a Speckled Sussex. This bird has a LOT of comb. I am really hoping that it is a faster maturing female and NOT another rooster ... but ... I have my doubts.
