My Flock

Most of my chickens came from Sister Patsy,

but Brother hatched them for us in his

incubator. He has one of those huge ones

that cost a bunch. He bought it at a estate

sale for a $100. I think he said. The picture

of the three chickens shows a Rhode Island

Red Bantie--Patsy ordered these from a

hatchery--I love her. She lays a light brown

egg that is bigger than the mixed bantie's

eggs. The other two chickens in the photo

with her are two of my old hens. The little

bb hen is old--probably 6 to 8 years old. The

little white hen is over 5 years old. I like both

of them....so I just keep them. I think they still

lay. Another of the photos shows the rose comb

rooster that is mean! Patsy said to chop his head

off, but I have not gotten up my nerve yet!

So here is my flock. I took 4 dozen eggs to a

cousin in town yesterday. She begged to pay me

for them, but I only give my eggs away!
