Our sweet Avery, the last of our original flock, passed away in November, 2014.
She was 5.5 years old!
The daddy of the small hatch below, Constantine, had to find a new home.
He was being aggressive to the humans!
Spring 2014 we decided to hatch eggs from our own flock.
These three (all that hatched) turned out to be all girls!
Gladys, Henrietta,& Georgina
