Chickens in the Pack






I have been without a computer of my own for a little while now.

But on my birthday, this past Monday, my husband changed that for me.

I now have a brand new computer and it is wonderful!

I have a new flat screen monitor and WOW photos take on new life.

So here are my chickens......pullets, they are about 3 1/2 months old.

They usually start laying at about six months.

They are still maturing, but are looking more "henish everyday.

Thanks to Dave for the nesting boxes and "hen house". My chickens are very comfortable there.

I let them forage about 4-6 hours a day. I get them back in the coop with bread. Sometimes they wander back to the coop on their own. I never looked as chickens as being so pretty before...........but I love to watch them scratch and cluck around.

One of the pictures has them in the wooded area beside the house. they love it in there in the heat of the day.

I can't wait for my first egg!!!
