The Chickens

As I said, it all started with some chickens. In our case, which came first the chicken or the egg--THE CHICKEN. We started with a Buff Orpington (Lovie), Wyandotte (Daisy), Favorelle (Mabel), and an Easter Egger (Cotton). Mabel has feathers on her feet and Cotton lays blue eggs. In April, we got three news chickens-- Black Australorp (Lila), Buff Orpinton (Nugget), and Barred Rock (Spotty or Speckles-she has 2 names you pick the one you like). The babies are laying yet but we get blue eggs from Cotton, dark brown eggs from mabel, and light brown eggs from Daisy. We get about 15 eggs per week right now. Here are some chicken pics:
