Getting ready for winter

This is Bill’s winter project. He will be building a portable home for the new hens on this old boat trailer. These are Rhode Island Red and Black Australorp. They are both a heritage breed that we chose for their nice personalities as well as their nice brown eggs. We are increasing our hen population to try to meet the great demand for our eggs. Looking forward to watching the Heritage chicks grow up. It will be a nice change from the Red Star hens we’ve raised in the past. Also part of our Animal Welfare Approved program!
