Nugget x Sunshine - the May, 2014 Hatches

Nugget x Sunshine is my 2nd pairing in 2014 - with Sunshine coming to me in April courtesy of Craig Hansen.  Thank you Craig!!
He had already trimmed her for breeding, but he promises me that she really does have a cushion!  Nugget was smitten, and the two of them got down to business immediately.
First pullet egg layed on November 3rd!!
