WE got ds#2's 4h project saturday, a pair of porcelian D'Uccles. They are so cute & small compared to the other chickens. Ds is working on domesticating them & getting them used to being manhandled so to speak. The hen laid an egg on Sun., which really surprised me after driving down the interstate @ 75mph home. We had to drive down on the other side of Tucson to get them. I told him to let her sit on her eggs & maybe he can sell some to recoup the cost of the feed. He really is getting an assortment of pets, these 2, a duck & a ram.

Thanks Wife, the only difference is our male has a little more tan on his wings. His name is Speedy & her name is Penny. I've never owned a bantam before, so this is a first for me.
