[Psalm 73]

Oh, almost forgot the most important things - Henrietta and Penny died (quietly), but Goldie is still giving us just about an egg a day - after almost 5 years!
We picked up three new "Spotted Sussex" chicks (an "heirloom" breed dates back to 2nd century England).
New, larger chicken run for them. "Now go forth and produce..."

[Ladysforest]

Speckled Sussex are terrific hens, but not prolific layers. In warm seasons they do well, with a small light brown egg per day. Once the season cools, they go slower and in winter, nearly stop laying. They are smart, fun hens to have. I loved mine.
