Flock Update

It has been awhile since the flock had 
an update. Our current count is eleven hens and a rooster. We were gifted with four Marans back in September (by Blake's cousin, who raises them).....Pearl, Regina, Bo and Eunice.

Bobbie, our oldest hen, remains Miss Photogenic.

Feeding frenzy.

These pampered ladies have been on strike for over two months....the result of shorter days, moulting and youth. Finally, we were rewarded with these eggs for five days in a row. I believe they were produced by one of the new girls, as they look a bit different from any of our other eggs. Maybe the others will get the idea.

 Take care,
Jennie

  1. Oh but I miss having two eggs sunny side up with toast, butter, jam with fried potatoes and melted cheese on the side. The days before high cholesterol and changing my diet instead of taking meds.

  2. I don't know how you keep track of all their names. I enjoy seeing pictures of the flock as they are all so different looking. A collection more than a flock.

  3. Who knew chickens could be so beautiful?
    I hope you are not getting washed away like we are.

  4. Wonderful pictures. I didn't know that you are a farm girl.
    Health, happiness and LOTS of hooking/sewing time in the new year.
