Well as you can see, my brood is getting bigger. They are now just about two months old. I’m so obviously a novice at this, that I was talking to someone the other day knowledgeable about chickens and found out I won’t have eggs for at least 6 months! Oh well, at least they are entertaining. They travel around like a little gang and get into just as much trouble. Did I mention that they have a real affinity for my mulch?!  My daughter has named them and swears she can tell them apart – Penelope, Flossie, Bep, May, Squirt and Miss C. Stay tuned………

My first egg!  There it was neatly sitting in a corner of the coop.  My hens are laying and we couldn’t be more excited.  Finally – fresh eggs!
