There are only 4 other boxes there…the Australorp is the intruder
The diversity in the New Layers’ pen
We had to move the pasture pen for the last time on Sunday.
A couple of the Barred Rocks and an Australorp
The Australorps
I love the iridescent sheen on these black birds.
And finally, a photo of Miss Rosecomb, the oddball Barred Rock
Seven of the 18 birds
We’ve been getting up to 6 eggs for 18 birds lately. The Barred Rocks started laying first, but it’s good to see the Australorps have started. I just got my first call for pullet eggs on Sunday. A few of my customers really like the little eggs, which I sell for $3.00/dozen.
The old layers have been sending up 4 -5 eggs for 14 birds, and many of them are molting, so it is time. By mid October it will be time to send the old flock to Freezer Camp. There are only 14 of them, and they will all be boned for ground chicken, so we should finish in 1 day.
My barred is broody... sitting on 12 fertile eggs donated by friend.. god knows what Ive got myself into...

Aww sweet looking girls. :) I enjoy chickens so much. Ours are pretty polite with the nest boxes. Often they choose to cram in together. Hahaha. Silly girls.
