Just joined - wanted to say hi - I adopted 4 hens - really, bought them from my Dad who is retiring from raising chickens - anyway, I love my 4 ladies - had them 6 days and loving it.
Haven't raised chickens since I was little (with my family) - so I feel a little out of sorts - but sure it will all come back to me.
My hubby and I put the coop together and built a hard around it next to our garden, so they can run around during the day (barbed wire around top).
The tall one is the Rhode Island Red and the other 3 are Buff Orpingtons.
The girls have very distinct personalities - I already named them accordingly:
from left to right - (L) back is bashful Bessie; (L) front is dancing Dolly; (R) back is the very tall and gorgeous Ginger (or gigi); and (R) front is nosy Nellie - she seems to be the matriarch - always out front checking things out.
