4th time momma

[Girls next Door]

I first got into raising chickens for eggs almost 10 years ago. I bought 3 grown hens. They were Road Island Reds. They lived for about 5 years, then a chicken hawk moved into our backyard. The hawk killed all of them in less than 3 days.
I'm on my 4th flock now. Bought day old chicks from this website. They came in the mail and it was amazing! They were smaller than golf balls!
I have a mixed flock of brown egg layers.
I make them gourmet frozen treats to keep them entertained.
My dad built me a reinforced chicken run and a playhouse for my flock.
I love talking about chickens!

That is amazing how long your first flock lived - you must have taken good care of them! So sorry to hear about losing them all so quickly...always hard to lose a hen.
