Today is brought to you by the letter D.
I don’t have any Dorkings, but I do have a Delaware.
D is for Delaware
So placid and calm
Big light brown eggs she lays
that fit in my palm

I like your tribute to Opal, Terry. :-)
Here’s another ditty for D:
D is for Dominique
A breed whose heritage is unique:
Claimant to title “America’s first breed”,
Developed in New England, early 19th century.
Good layers and good mothers,
Some more flighty than others,
Robust and cold hardy and early to mature,
A heritage breed that is sure to endure.
I have a friend from the south who keeps Dominiques. He considers them part of his cultural heritage.
D is for dreaming
I only have Buckeyes
don’t get me wrong
for they are strong
but more breeds would have me beaming
Once you start wanting more breeds, it snowballs… better add on to that coop :)
D is for Dinner
Cooking my chickens
will not be their fate
For the eggs that they gift me
are the best i have ate!
Lesley good one!! TRUE ! :)
Even though my poetic skills are lacking, this is a great series. Such fun to read.
You have many other skills!
Yes I am really loving this series
Enjoy!
I’m one day late, but our Delaware was not placid and calm, RIP Miss D!
D is for Miss Delaware 2011
Our transgender hen
So big and so bold
An egg-laying gal
Who crowed and crowed
I’ve never had that happen here, but I’ve heard of such hens.
