Chickens (Chic's Mixed Breed)
Just wondering, if anyone would like some chickens, their a cross breed - You'll see in my photos, the Mum is a wee Campine Bantam, & the Dad is a Barred Rock Plymouth (Black & White one - Full Size). Babies are 5 weeks old at the moment, so should be ready to leave their Mum in about 3/4 weeks? I haven't sorted them from male / female as yet, will do shortly & advise the outcome (If I get it right :O ) (There is 7 Chicks in Total - I may keep 1), just thought I'd get ahead and let anyone know who may be interested. Looking at the colouring of the babies, think their going to be more like Dad?? still hard to tell, will be hard to tell how big they will grow being a cross breed. $25 per chick -They have been used to the outdoor environment. Will do a deal for two or more. will put more photos up later of the brood.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
