Re: Chickens

Posted by: amazinggraze <amazinggraze@...>

The Amish here have comets. We got some buff comets from them. They are
smaller than our Orpingtons, but they layed well ALL winter and they are the
hugest dark brown eggs I have ever seen. However, I cannot find them
either. I am going to ask the Amish guy we got them from, where they get
their chicks. I want more.
