I love having my rooster. He is so kind and good with his 12 ladies. Very protective when they free range. Downside is that he takes them to the neighbors periodically and he knows better. I holler at him and tell him to get him girls home and he corrals them up and sulks back home...hahahaha...

I havent replanted my garden yet. Not sure when I will. The soil is just too dense. Im gonna have to do container planting and buy the plants, containers, and soil.

This is her second batch of eggs. She hatched at least a dozen last fall. I think she felt the bucket she hatched Weebitt in with all her other eggs was too small and her mothering instincts took over with protecting that baby from getting smothered on the nest. I will be building nest boxes in...

Thank you Im very very proud of my hens. Even though Im doing any breeding for spesific breeds, I breed for good quality layers and so far, all of my hens that are laying age give me wonderful large brown eggs and not to mention, I get some beautiful colors crossing my Black Sex Links on my Red...
