Our Chickens

Above: Chicks hatching in our incubator.  They are wet when they hatch and in 1-2 hours they get fluffy.

 

Below: A hen in a nesting box laying an egg. The hens get very crabby in the spring when we try to pick eggs from them because they want to hatch out chicks.

 

 
Text Box: Our chickens lay brown and green eggs. You can even get chickens that lay blue eggs! Text Box: Our tiny egg from a full size hen! It weighs less then a gram and measures an inch long and not quite an inch wide. That’s my thumb next to it!
