It’s Spring and my hens are laying...

It's Spring in Melbourne and my flock of five hens are laying again.















My flock from left to right – Agnes (Light Sussex), Sophia (Brown Leghorn), Lola (Black Leghorn), Queenie (Barnevelder) and Violet (Arauncana).















These eggs are from four of my hens. From top left, clockwise, the chocolate brown egg is from Queenie (Barnevelder), the light brown egg from Agnes (Light Sussex), the white egg from Sophia (Brown Leghorn) and the blue egg from Violet (Arauncana).

Gina turned into Gino!

One of our newly hatched Brown Leghorns has turned out to be a cockerel. We were a little disappointed with this outcome, but after a few phone calls we found someone through the Collingwood Children’s Farm who is going to build a flock of Brown Leghorns and was interested in a free cockerel. Dino has relocated to Lancefield and has two new girl friends! Lucky Gino!!!

Spot the chickens...

There are 4 chickens in this picture... Can you spot them???
