Hi Big Blue, yes I am down to two hens. Not sure how I will go forward. I've been working to secure my two hens so nothing can get to them. I have the opportunity to take in 12 chickens, 6 reds and 6 Queens. I will need to expand the pen and secure the top form all predators. We will see.
Thank you. I am glad to find this group. I have a lot to say about chickens but for now I just need support. The last one of the old red hens is living her last days. Her best friend and protector left us about three weeks ago. She was a Easter Egger called Blu, she looked after the old Red Hen...
I have been helping to care for a large flock of free range chickens for the past two years. That is how I grew to love chickens.
The first year was with an aging flock of Rhode Island Reds and I took home the last 6 hens when a new flock of 200 were brought to the farm.
