Our barred Wyandotte, hatched in March, laid last Monday and again today

Thrilled to bits, we>d wondered if her complicated, interrupted life might

Congratulations, Mary. We have a White Wyandotte, and she has a
wonderful personality. Very approachable and easy going.

Thanks for your mails,

I do.... I give eggs away... we have some older pets which wander around
the yard doing their own thing, their eggs get excessive in the spring.
And the Harlequins, far too many eggs to set.
Where can I find the info...... yes, I>m being hopeless again:-))

I didn>t mean to scare ya>ll about the regs! I>m nowhere near the UK in
Southeast Georgia, USA. I live about 50 miles north of Florida in the
beautiful Golden Isles of Georgia. This state has 17 barrier islands! I am
about 15 miles inland looking at the river less that 100 meters in my front
yard. The state of Georgia has a strong commercial chicken producer lobby
and some of the strictest regulations in the world! There are mega chicken
farms and egg farms in Georgia! I>m just a little backyard farmer with
nostalgia for the old days....

I know she would, last time I spoke to her she said that she hadn>t got
around to getting the newsgroups back though I got the impression that
she could still read the posts. Being without knowledge on computers I
may well have misunderstood.
So Jill, if you can read this, please hurry up back:-))
