Meet our chickens

 

SAPHIRA

(Saphira is on the left)

Saphira and Thorn are Road Island Red hens.  These hens are good layers at around 275 eggs per year.  They are strong layers even in the winter and are not bothered by cold.  Saphira is the less aggressive of these two hens.  She is somewhat curious and enjoys eating bugs. 

 

THORN

 

(Thorn is in front)

Thorn is our most aggressive hen.  She is clearly the top of our pecking order.  Even so she is friendly and will eat out of your hand if you bring her treats.  Like all our chickens she loves watermelon, and will let others have some too. 

TUCK

 

 

Tuck is the only of our chickens that we raised from a chick. 

We named her Tuck because she looked a bit like Friar Tuck as a baby.  Tuck is a Turken hen, Tuck will lay light brown eggs and they are good at regulating their own temperature.  She is curious but unwilling to fly and tends to prefer to be on the ground, not on a perch. 

CINNABUN

 

Cinnabun is by far our friendliest chicken.  She is a Red Star hen, who can be expected to lay an egg a day.  She also will follow you anywhere you go.  If you go into the chicken run it is difficult to leave without her following you.  She loves to eat out of your hand and will follow us all around the yard if we let her.
