I'll be careful in the future! Thanks for caring about them! :)

Fiona is 13 this year!

@@TotheCoop Wow I thought she was about 10 years old. Happy 4th of July to you and your family.

Great job!!! Ladybug's and Korra's eggs are the only ones i can usually guess. SOMETIMES i guess Marley's and Agnes's eggs, and i get super excited when that happens. 😂

@@karendegeyter2937 Oh my stars, the only reason i knew the spelling is that i saw it written on a couple other videos. Otherwise, i would have assumed it was Cora or Corra! I just love these hens. They all have their own personalities (Ladybug seems like she's so silly), and every video i've seen of them, they seem so happy! 😊

@@aliasalibi6671 Don't hate. God bless you

​@@karendegeyter2937 ????! i'm startled and worried that i've said something wrong, but i don't know what. If i did, i am sorry.

Don't worry, there will be more!

They seem to love everything! Usually they'll go for strawberries first if you give them a choice, but they're excited about anything I bring. :)

@@TotheCoop Does your chickens like peaches 🍑. My sister has chickens and they love the peaches and the figs.

@@karendegeyter2937 I don't know if they've had peaches yet, but they love plums!

@@TotheCoop Ok I was just wondering about that. Thank you so much.

I have one each of 4 different breeds--the grey (Marley) is a Bluebell, the gold (Ladybug) is a Crested Cream Legbar (or at least some similar variety--she was sold as a crested cream legbar and has the typical blue-green egg color), the black with silver (Agnes) is a Daisy Belle, also called pied sussex, and the black with copper (Korra) is a Black Copper Marans (they lay those very dark, almost chocolate-brown shelled eggs)!

Thank you! I worked on it over the course of a couple weeks 😊

@@TotheCoop Ok I love it

And they're so beautiful!

@@aliasalibi6671 Agree they are.

I'm not planning on it! Eventually when these gals get old and die I can imagine getting more, but four is a good number for the space I have, and the time and energy to look after them! :)

They sure are, there are a few videos up of them out and about :) They go out at least once a day. They always have to be supervised because we have alot of foxes in the neighbourhood, but they get to come out into the rest of the yard to forage and explore!

Agree nothing silly at all. And that is a beautiful apron I agree with that also. And it bring joy personally I love it ❤.

We eat them pretty regularly, but we give most away to neighbours and friends and family!

@@TotheCoop OK thank you.

I've been trying to figure out why that is--no roosters here, and the hens don't seem to bully each other. I'll have to keep investigating!

@@TotheCoopthey may be plucking her at night. Heard plenty of people talk about some chickens being picked on at night.

My daddy used to freeze it for them too. Our chickens used to love that.

Here I have them in the run the majority of the time, because we have a ton of foxes in the neighbourhood, and rumors of a chicken hawk! I also have my own two dogs who are lovely, but who would chase the chickens. I do let the hens out at least once a day, supervised! Length of time depends on how much time I have, but also sometimes they just wander back in to hang out in the run. I'd say anywhere between 20 min and a couple hours is the range! I know the more time they have to explore and forage the better, but so far this is the best balance I can get in terms of safety. I try to give them interesting things to do in the run too, and I visit with them alot just because I like em :)
