I do. In fact ‘you get nothing in this game for two in a bed’ became a rather risqué saying back in the day!

I looked as well rick and was surprised at the price. Similarly a CD by Gunhild Carling. There seems no logic to it. DVDs are ridiculously cheap. Yet other things seem really expensive.

Thanks for your insights. Just a whim thinking about some possible hatchlings in 2022. Was thinking of Black Silkie x Black Orpington chicks in 2023 but makes more sense to go Black Silkie x Black Australorp.

Must be getting sentimental in my old age! The breed is called the Whitefaced Woodland. That's one heck of a handsome dude, Hen Gen. What ma...
