Some new friends

Meet the new ladies!

Molly and Coco.

These gals are the same breed as Henny (Easter Egger) and should start laying eggs (hopefully blue and green) very soon. They were hatched at the end of February, making them a year younger than the other hens. Since Cutie died, our egg supply has taken a hit. Not to mention that it is HOT outside and they just aren't laying eggs to their full potential. For now, the new ladies are trying to keep FAR away from Lola who is at the top of the pecking order and insists on pecking them. They are afraid of me, but I am sure they will figure out that I bring treats soon enough.

Welcome, girls! I hope that you live a long and productive life here with us.

I think every single comment I leave starts with, "Forgive me for my forgetfulness in checking the private blogs and now I have to do some catching up" but it's true!!
Love the new girls, chickens are oh so pretty and fresh eggs are oh so lovely.
