I have a flock of 8 comprised of 7 hens and 1 roo. 1 hen is 4 years old and mostly just goes along with the flock - not dominant, or mean, just a sweet old girl. The other 6 hens are Golden Comets all about 14 month old now, hatched and raised together. The entire flock free ranges all day...
My name is Bob and I live in west-central Virginia in the lovely Shenandoah Valley.
I've had chickens off and on my whole life, but never more than a few at a time. Always had small urban flocks of no more than two or three hens, with an occasional rooster.
Took a few years off from gardening...
