Blaze, my Black Copper Marans rooster, earlier this week. He is under-the-weather currently. :(
Most of the hens are working hard, producing an average of 18 eggs a day.
Several hens are  broody and must be broken up in order to get them back to egg-laying.

I sure could use Grandpa's Feeder here… the rodents ate thru our feed bins, so I have to lock up our feed in my jeep every night to avoid paying "rat-tax" – ugh!
