~More Chickens~

Isn't this just the cutest chicken....


Oh, wait! These are the chickens...(with some boys mixed in!)



We picked up ten Brown Sex Link chickens last Tuesday night...The boys really like these birds! They are very friendly.

Gregg went to get a cage for them on Saturday morning. He came home with not only a cage but a house and three more Brown Sex Links! What a surprise! We bought the cage used and didn't realize they had chickens in it that they needed to get rid of! God surley provides!

The ten chickens will start laying in the next few weeks...the three are already laying!

Check out these eggs!


Left is Bantam (our first three chickens)
Middle is Large store bought egg
Right is from our new Brown Sex link! Wow! Big eggs!


I think 16 chickens are just too many for us to watch over! We will probably be getting rid of our origional three. Back to the Farmers Market they go!

Why don't you just butcher the first 3? Val

Hey Val, the Bantams are not really for eating...there is hardly any meat on them. It just wouldn't be worth it.
