The Hen House

David is giving chickens one more try. He purchased over a dozen layers earlier this spring, and the chickens are finally laying! Only one chicken was a rooster, so we faired pretty well. Out of a dozen hens in the hen house we average 8-10 eggs a day.

Here are the chickens in the Hen House.
Eli enjoys feeding the chickens. The chickens get all of our extra produce, and the few vegetable that grow in the garden...you would understand if you saw our garden... or weeds should I say!!

My favorite chickens are Araucanas. They lay blue eggs. They are not consistent layers however, and David said if the Araucanas didn't start laying soon he would move them from the Hen House to the Freezer! Perfect timing ladies, you're safe in the Hen House! :)
