Hi everyone

[Tassie-Devil]

Hi from Tasmania everyone.
I have around 40 hens and 3 roosters. I have been incubating and raising chickens for around 5 years now. I have 2 really old hens, super friendly and loveable. Pixie is almost 20 years old and Doris who is almost 18 both were my Mum's and when she moved into the town they came to live with me.

Thank you
Yes my two senior citizens still lay a few eggs each week and are currently setting together on a dozen eggs. They always do everything together, sitting on the eggs and raising their babies together dear old ladies
