| Which Puff did it? |
It seems like just last week the box of day-old white Silkie hens arrived here and now they're almost totally grown up.
One of the little fluff balls laid her first egg today. There have been egg songs coming from their coop and we've been checking for eggs but this is the first time we've actually got an egg.
August 2021 to October 28, 2022
The Lord called her home, our little bantam chicken named "Blue" has left the Earth behind and headed to a better place. We will always remember you Blue, peace be with you.
UPDATE: The coops have been renumbered, to make them more orderly, progressing from one through seven in physical order. The renumbering makes this post difficult to understand. We have tested "Frizzle" with various hens but ultimately we bought him three ISA standard size hens, Iris, Sparkle and Angel.
Little Tom and Marilyn moved in with Dusty and company.
Fritz did turn out to be very lucky getting his three ladies to keep an eye on and look after. Dusty ended up with the single largest flock. Read on to discover more.
