This is a group of our "goldie girls" don't you love their bloomers!
Some of our chickens are going into their third winter, and some their second. We did not get any new chicks or allow the hens to hatch out any eggs....we have enough for now....Some of our chicks are just called by their type..."The Buttercup", "The Reds" (from Rhode Island, of course!!!)... But some have names, Moonbeam,,the white hen, Sangiah, the two Polish with the crazy black top hats on, Marilyn, the blonde Polish, and Thor, the thunder rooster. Some have nick names, The Rounders, two golden brahmas that ran around and around when you petted them, and my favorites, a group of three, that we just call "Hen", who are Cocco marans, and lay the most beautiful dark brown eggs. We get between two and three dozen eggs a day, and give most of them away, and sell a few...someday..they may earn their keep. Cracked corn is about $8.50 for a 50 pound sack.
