I fend the eggs very good, nice shell with good albumen and an orange yolk. Glad your girl recovered!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473918578220504978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865373138717396278.post-53642771763367367312011-09-14T11:02:22.112-07:002011-09-14T11:02:22.112-07:00I had to comment about how delightful it was to se...I had to comment about how delightful it was to see someone with Astralorps. Mine arrived as a trade for Bantam Rhodies.. I thought the young black hens I received were a mix of crow or something.LOL! But I looked up their black legs and yellow toenails. I had 3 but one was killed by raccoons and it has been a battle ever since. I have one who should have died but she is like a dinosaur. Raccoons tore open her whole neck along the back- no skin there..but she somehow lived and managed to regenerate all the skin. Now has feathers and is laying again. I call her our Miracle chicken. Still working to fortify a run for these girls for winter as I live in Massachusetts. Thanks for posting your informationSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08424253713008178169noreply@blogger.com
