TIME TO MEET SOFIA AND ROCKIE

Sofia is the white hen, you see her on the front page of the blog. Rockie is our only rooster if you forget about the chicklets.They have lots of green stuff to eat, which makes their egg yolks really bright yellow

CHICKLETS ARE GROWING UP

Well the chicklets are growing up and are not as cute as they were when we first got them

We named this one Lace because she was so cute but I think she has turned into a he and he is really ugly. The photographer made him look better than he really does.

CHICKENS GET MORE COMPANY

My friends Kate and Janice came over today. Kate cut up vegetable scraps to bring the chickens, her husband saw this and was horrified he thought she was bringing it for our lunch LOL

Janice is camera shy. We spent the day outside working on some crafts, I forgot to take pictures. It was a fun day

CHICKLETS HAVE ANOTHER VISITOR

Dakota came over to visit the chicks and collect the eggs. I am anxious to know which ones are male and female but I just can't tell.

TIME TO MEET ANNABELLE

Bert takes a wife. What is odd is that I have that same outfit but I can't find it . LOL

ITS TIME TO STOP SENDING OUT ALERTS

I am no longer going to send out emails when I have added to my blog. I don't want to become a pain in the butt. You guys now have an idea what it is about and if you are interested you can go to the site by clicking the dewdropin at the bottom of this blog and the site will come up. You can then subscribe to the blog and post any comments that you want onto it. If you are not interested then at least you won't be getting pestered with the alerts.

RANGE EGGS

Production for the month of June was 177 eggs which means they cost us 4.06 a dozen. We sold some for 3.50 a dozen. It definitely not a money maker, wait until you see the cost per dozen this winter. Feed has doubled in cost since we started raising chickens a year ago. BUT we didn't do it to make money, we did it because we wanted the superior eggs.

We have 10 chickens and one rooster. 6 Hens are a little over a year old and 4 hens are about 2 I would guess. We had two other hens but they died last winter (not sure why, maybe they were just old).

I am not counting Henrietta and her chicklets.

The chickens run free all day and are locked up at night to keep them safe.
