The Hen House

Introducing our newest family members Jane, Fanny and Emma.   Guess who named them and where she got those names?
These new lovely little ladies will be keeping us entertained as well as supplied with plenty of breakfast eggs.

Here's Mert with her new friend Fanny. We like her because she has personality and a cool hairdo.

Our first egg!  We're so proud.

Gracie and Abbie are convinced that the girls need to be held, petted, talked to, and entertained. What better way than to get right into the pen with them? Spoiled chickens are what we now have on our hands.  They get very excited and come right to the edge of the pen when Abbie and Gracie come near.
The black hen on the left of the pen is Emma.  Gracie picked her out specifically because she has fluffy feet.  She says that Emma looks like she's wearing pajamas pants.

This sweet girl is the one that I picked out.  Her name is Jane.  I chose her because she has that classic chicken look about her.

Your little hens are beautiful! I just LOVE chickens. Mine have just started laying. They are a constant source of laughter and entertainment for us. Plus, what other pet can make your breakfast?
