We welcomed 6 new Golden Comet hens to the bunch this past weekend. It is exciting that they are already laying eggs and absolutely beautiful chickens. It is obvious that they have been well taken care of and are very healthy.
It was quite an interesting day watching the Barred Rocks (5 hens and 1 rooster) try and immediately figure out a pecking order with the new batch of 6 hens. A lot of squawking and running and pecking and flexing by the only male of the bunch. Rich and Dante had quite a time narrating the rooster's thoughts as he was walking around in his glory among 11 females.
We are having a great time not only watching the chickens clean up the bugs in the yard, but also giving us yummy brown eggs each day.
