I have been busy posting in my business blog and have let my personal blog lapse. As a blogger I feel a responsibility to keep it updated so I apologize for my absence and lack of posting.
Today I want to share more pics from my backyard birds. These birds being my chickens. I have a breed called Aracana or some call it Americana. This bird is not very pretty and we have named it Ugly. The one cool thing about this chicken is that it lays green eggs. When we mention this to acquaintances or friends, most have never seen a green egg. The egg is also a jumbo egg and is rich. So even though it is an ugly bird, it does lay some very cool eggs.
At our local county fair I saw a pair of this breed and they were a buff color. When I get more space in my backyard to expand my flock, I plan on adding a buff colored bird to my flock.
Ugly may not be very pretty, but she is one cool bird. When I come out the door she runs to greet me and is always present when I am outside. She is very friendly and seems to get along with the other chickens in the flock very well. So the saying beauty is only skin deep goes well for the birds also.

It’s Araucana. It’s the same way you spelledd it, but with a U between ARA and CANA.
