They have arrived!
Our sweet new special girls are here:)
We went to fetch them yesterday, they are 6 week old Hi Line (future) egg layers. Four are brown and white and only one is pure white. I love listening to the sweet little sounds that they make. They already have names and each child has chosen one for their own. They will love all of these chickens and I am sure these girls will grow up to be as tame as our last ones that we brought home. Our older ones are all mostly retired now and spend their days sand bathing and lying in the sun. As soon as these new ones are big enough, we will intergrate them with the others.
Having chickens has also been a wonderful learning experience for our children and our family, chickens are very entertaining to watch. They do such amazing things, the way they bask in the sun and follow us around the garden is wonderful. If you don’t have chickens yet, I highly recommend them!
You can see our other chickens and their house here.
Today was an exceptionally rainy and cold day, I did manage to send in my submission for Rhythm of the Home online Magazine though, yay! I had such fun putting this creation together:)
Happy Monday everyone:)
Warmly
Linda
