Happy Hens

Chickens and Boys

Linda, known for her beauty.

Dylan holding White Chick aka Blanche DuBois. Dylan named her White Chick but my friend thought it was an awful name so she calls her Blanche. Needless to say, White Chick / Blanche DuBois has a bit of an identity crises. Notice that she is pointing her toes trying to be all prim and proper, like she is going to tea or something. I think it has all gone to her head because she often thinks that she is too good to hang with the other girls and ventures off alone.

Linda checking to see if Dylan is ok.

Noah decides that Dylan needs a chicken on his back.

Tails up! I love their little poofy bloomers.

Pullets in Their 1st Coop

 Pullets are hens who have not begun to lay eggs. These picture show my girls enjoying the outdoors. I can count eight hens in this photo but there are a total of nine. The one up front looks like Goldie.

Ruby is chilling outside on top of and overturned flower pot.

Getting drowsy...

aaaaw, napping outside in the sun, the good life!

The hens new feeder that I made from a frosting bucket complements  of Tom Thumb.

1st Coop

 

This is the girls first coop outside. Nine happy pullets lived in here. My son built if for them and he also built a yard around it. Happy Days before predators. They soon out grew this small coop.
