Rural/Farm Life

Nothing cuter than baby chicks, except maybe baby ducks.
Looks like you got a nice mix.

Last month we added 10 more chicks to our flock of 11 mixed laying hens.
We have Australorpes, Barred Rocks, RI Reds, Silverlaced Wyandottes, Buff Orps, Wellsummers,
and one Brown Leghorn.
The Brown Leghorn is the Old Lady of the flock.
She seldom lays anymore, but we keep her in comfortable retirement because she was the best Layer we ever had,
and her floppy comb makes her unique.

We started keeping Free Range chickens in Spring 2007,
and they have proved to be the most cost effective, year round source of Healthy, good tasting food.
The bonus was that we quickly came to love these clean, intelligent, social birds,
each with their own individual personality.
They have become a daily source of delight.

Good Luck with your birds.
