...uhmmm, I actually mean "egg-roll", yup, the girls are actually producing....big, beautiful brown egss, blue eggs and even turkey eggs...! Most of our laying hens stay in the hen house, but the other half get to run around. They run around the pasture, the pens, the backyard... all of which is O.K., they run around the front yard, around the driveway.... - NOT.... O.K., I'm trying to get mr. sassafras to build a newer, bigger coop for these renegades - he wants them to hatch baby chicks...cute, but in the meantime, messy. Besides, I don't really think they will be wanting to hatch any eggs until it's springtime again, right....? Remy has been finding eggs in and out of the laying boxes and some in the barn, from the 'renegades'.
We have 5 brown hens that we got from our friends, The Penderwicks, that we were never able to catch to put in the chicken coop. We call them 'the twisted sisters'. Well, the sisters are back, after a stint at our neighbors', they wanted to keep them...! They even offered to trade for some of their ugly ones. No, thank you. They're back, in renegade mode....
