Chickens: Our starting flock

This is one of the Plymouth Rocks we got.

This is our Cinnamon Queen. Isn't she beautiful?

We began our chicken adventure back on August 7, 2011 with the purchase of our first flock of chickens. I am so glad we did too. These five layers have provided us with a lot of joy and a LOT of eggs. We consistently get 3-5 eggs a day, everyday, from these 5 ladies. That is more than the average for the breeds but they are really happy here and love us like we love them.
We have one Plymouth Rock, a Cuckoo Maran, a Golden Lace Wyandotte, a Cinnamon Queen and a Blue Silkie. I need to get more recent pictures of our girls because they are so beautiful now. The Blue Silkie is simply gorgeous and takes your breath away.
We are heavy eaters in our family and since we have had these five girls, I have yet to buy eggs from the store. We eat a sausage and egg casserole several days a week and I do a lot of baking but these girls keep up our demand.
