We've been ruffling some feathers in our coop. Meet 'Ruby' our beautiful Light Sussex rooster. He came free with a dozen eggs from our local farm...gotta love living in the country!
Our neighbour's cat has taken quite an interest in our hens and has started stocking and trying to attack them. So to save our hens (and the cat) from being injured, we decided to add a 'man' to the flock. So far the girls have been less than enthused and have been downright mean to him - especially my little fire ball, Blacky, who seems to feel she's the cock of the walk.
Well girlies, get used to it as there will be four more gals joining our family this spring. So excited to be raising some little fluff bums again. Now if only I can convince my husband that ducks are a good idea...
Left to Right: Blue Cochin, Amerecauna, Welsummer, Buff Brahma
Once everyone is laying, this will be the array of colours we can expect. So excited...it's like Easter every day!
