Who let the hens out ?

Who let them on the porch ?

 

 Who left the door open

So flock could critique what they saw?

 

Who brings the treats out ?

Who gets them first ?

 

Why do hens play coy and ignore the one they idolize, the Bringer of All Things Good ?

 

And act like the attention they receive is no big deal...

 

 But.....Every so often looking in the window to see what I am doing and telling the other hens every move I make.

And when I arrive to feed the herd, I get the same sort of look.... in a Bovine way.

It feels good to be so needed and wanted.... but I could sure use a few days off to pamper myself.

Any affordable, realistic ideas ?

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a woman who has a large flock of beautiful hens.

There are multiple breeds, ages and sizes.

They were so colorful that I couldn't keep my eyes off them.

They greeted me when I arrived and followed me all over the area.

Can you identify some of the breeds?

I had never seen several of the breeds represented here, but I am certainly planning to add a few chicks of those breeds this spring to my flock.

Anybody have Golden Laced Wyandottes or Welsummers ?  Are they good layers ?
How many eggs, per year, on average, do they lay?

And does anyone have any Blue Laced Red Wyandottes or Swedish Flower Hens and how are they for egg production, on average?

Thanks for any and all "chick details."

Have a great week!
