If you have never considered keeping hens in your backyard, you should try it!!! They are a lot of fun and not too much work!! 

They add a tremendous amount of charm to your yard, and more and more towns are allowing them!! Plus, they give you lovely little gifts!! We raised our girls from day one and it's been an amazing experience!

Have a eggs-ceptional day everyone!!

  7. Deanna, you have a charming bunch of girls there! I've always wanted to have chickens, but maybe someday when they can swim. :)

    Have a happy day! Hoping it cools off for the weekend.

  9. Oh, your girls look so happy! They are beautiful! I can understand how excited you are to get fresh eggs! I have been keeping chickens for years,, and I never get over the excitement of the girls when they start laying their first eggs! There is nothing that compares with the taste either!
    Bless you and your girls!

  10. Thanks for sending me the link Laurel. I'm sorry I missed this. Your girls are beautiful. I'd love to let ours free range, but we live in the country with lots of hawks, eagles, fox and coyotes. Plus we have a dog who is verrrrry interested in our new ladies, so I can't let them free range, but they have a large run. Our black Australorps are pullets too. They've been giving us eggs since we got them and it's amazing how much bigger they (the eggs)are just in the two weeks we've had them.
