Your name is Grace, and you live in Aloha? My daughter Grace lives in Aloha! You're not her, are you....She didn't say she got new chickens this year, lol. Hers are a year old. She lives near Whispering Woods...

That's awesome!! My mom's name is Amy... unless you changed your name & got live chickens to go with the ceramic ones in the kitchen. Mom?

They were banging on it non-stop as soon as they learned it meant treats!
Now I only take it out when I have treats to give them. But when I do, they fly to it like heat-seeking missiles.

I have my flock of 7 (6 hens / 1 rooster) were hatched 4/26 I have 1 australorp and 2 white rocks in my flock and my australorp is looking like she is close to laying and 1 of my rocks looks to be right behind her so hopefully yours are close too

well right now the only one laying is still the my red sex link didn't get one yesterday but she laid one early this morning so the count is still 1/6

So excited I forgot to update Australorp laid first egg on Labor Day 9/4 and laying steady since. Barred Rock looks to be next with her bright red comb. I was told hens get loud before laying. Seriously no guessing here to know she was getting ready.

Some of us got plastic chickens because we can't be trusted with ceramic ones.

I have no ceramic or plastic chickens in my house. Lots of Shar-Pei stuff though.
Does that make me a bad-chicken-good-dog mom?

I think I make up for you.
This chicken border was one of the reasons we bought our house!!!

I've also been trying to hunt down chicken plates, but I can only find roosters not hens. Anyone know a good place?
1/3 today. TangoTango is on a roll!

Try Ebay, I just took a look and saw many with hens. (But some old tableware can contain lead. I think it was outlawed in the 1970's.)
Flea malls are another option....I got a chicken cookie cutter at a flea mall...it says 3 French hens in it, so it's part of the 12 days song.


Only 1/6 for me today.....

Mix of yesterday and today so not a true contest win - but that is most definitely 6 eggs from 6 different chickens! We are 100% in business!
