Hens of many colors up here in wine country! So much fun!

My hens have a 15 x 24 foot completely fenced yard, their henhouse, and daily access to about 1/2 acre of my orchard, garden, and compost piles. See new pics below of Wine Country Residence for Wayward Chooks!**
Test hatch a success! Lil' Joe and ladies produced the cute Splash Marans chicks:
