My friend Bob is here visiting. He just told me that here in Canada, if you are on welfare (pretty far below the poverty line, isn't it) you are richer than 97% of the people in the world. Wow. Everything is relative, and North America is a pretty great place to live.

We're extremely wealthy. Just to have heat, water and food is extraordinary in a global context.
Are we blessed, or what???
I saw your previous post on your hens, and wonder if your brown ones could be Isa Browns. I have 3 Aracaunas (one is a rooster) and 7 Isa's. My eggs are pretty solid, tho. No cracks, and not at all soft. For now, my Aracauna eggs are quite small, but in their defense, they just began laying a week ago.
It is amazing isn't it? The things we take for granted... There but for the grace of God go I
Thanks for visiting, gals. We are all very blessed, aren't we.
farmgirlcyn, thanks much. I Googled Isa Brown chickens and got a look at some pictures. I do believe you hit the nail right on the head as it would appear that this is the breed of my big brown hens. I will get some more oyster shell and keep giving them that and hope the shells get thicker, and if not I guess spring will be as good a time as any to put these gals into the soup pot and get some new ones to replace them. It's exciting when your pullets start laying eggs, isn't it. And they will get bigger as the girls get older.
