Love my new 2017 "girls"- Americana hens, Barred Rock hens, & Golden Comet hens! Started with 10 of each breed. Placed them into the new chicken coop at about 2 months old & a predator got 5 Golden Comets. I fought back against the predators and I had my husband put my blue tin all the way around the chicken coop. Amen, yes daily hen counts are done! I sure hope there are not anymore hen losses. My girls are all so sweet I give them oatmeal treats sometimes. I love my new girls and can't wait to start collecting fresh eggs in 4 months. I also can't wait to see what color eggs my American hens lay. My 1st brood of Americana hens laid all shades of green eggs. BTW- I will do an egg count when my girls start laying eggs until they no longer produce eggs. My American hens from my first batch laid over 5,500 eggs until their demise in 2016. I remain chillin with my peeps in Santa Rosa County Florida!
