"Hi Everybody!
It's been quite a while since I've posted about my chickens
There's 'My Baby,' The rooster I hatched with his four hens!
He has turned out to be a wonderful protector and provider for his hens!
He is gentle and will always be my baby!
His hens lay everyone of them almost every single day!
They are some of the best assortment of layers I've ever had! In fact, I have at this moment 4 18-count containers in the fridge! I'll be sharing them, always do. Amazing for a mere total of 5 hens
I feed them Kalmbach, and that's the best feed I've ever used!
For many years I had probably close to 40 chickens; the pens were bursting full
Over the years predators and age have taken a toll on the numbers.
I haven't added to the flock since the last predators invaded
You may remember when they took out complete flocks
And the one sole surviver of that bunch was Miracal!
You can see her below
She is the little hen that laid this Miracle Cross Egg!
Yes, she is a true miracle for many reasons!
I thank God for her, for all of them!
Great to have eggs, that's for sure!
You can read more about the chickens & breeds we've raised around here.
Our miracle hen
You may remember she was the sole survivor; even her twin sister was killed
Miracal was the one that was split open from the base of her head and down half her back
I could look inside of this precious bird and see her spine and other parts of her inside
I've had to put her in a pen by herself because the rest of the hens have tried to kill her
I have no idea why that is but have tried several times to include her with the rest
That will never happen. She is happy alone, they are happy with their group. So we carry on.
She talks to Chuck and me, yes she does!
Carries on a full blown conversation!
I sing to my chickens, and sometimes she sings to me!
She is one smart miracle hen!
