Snowball loves to fly up and hang out on the pole fence, nibbling at pine needles. Of course, that's her favorite spot to escape the yard also.

Silver Lakenvelder
The Lakenvelder has laid nary an egg for the last several weeks, while the Black Stars and Light Brahma continue to lay one every day or every other day at least. Her eggs are very pretty though, they are a white egg called "tinted"; we like to call it "pearl". My picture just doesn't do them justice.

Pretty eggs and pretty bird. I don't get why more people don't like Lakenvelders.
I agree; the eggs and the bird are beautiful. I think they aren't raised as much because they are less friendly with humans, easily startled, and lay fewer eggs. But they forage a lot more and our Snowball has always welcomed new chickens. She will assert her dominance, but not overly aggressively. That could just be her; I'm not sure since we only have one. Her eggs are gorgeous and she has always been really healthy. So, not good as a pet, but a wonderful farm bird.
