I've Gone Country A blog about a city girl learning a whole new world

I went and checked on our friends Hens.  They are neat.

I took a short video.  At first I thought about putting some music to it….but then I thought the soft little noise they make was soothing.

I decided to just let you hear them….hear nature all around them.  Including the way the ducks chime in with there quacking….maybe they were talking to each other.

They were probably saying…hey, who’s this new “chick” with the camera?

Anyway, they aren’t doing anything special, they are just hanging out.

My friend told me that there is one of her hens that tends to lay an egg in the feeder.

Sure enough….there was one waiting for me…..

The girls are pretty.  But they are hard to get a good picture of….they move with those little jerky motions all the time.

That really messes with an automatic focus camera…ha.  I was able to get a few good shots.

It was kinda funny…I said.. hey…you girls are going to have to be still…I need a good pic here…this one turned and looked straight at me like…well…here you go…but hurry up!  And I did.

According to my little chicken book….this comb is what is called a single comb, a Plymouth Rock.

I like the color of this one. If she was a human I would say she is a strawberry blonde….that is the cosmetologist still coming out in me.

Yesterday I retrieved 4 eggs.

I just love all the variations of size and color.

In the video you can see that they also have two ducks that live next door to the chickens.  They were really cute too.

Pretty colors……

Then there is what we tend to think of as plain jane ….however, she is still very attractive…. she is just going for the “natural look”.

I really enjoyed checking on the Hens…and I am about to head that way to do it all over again.  I am kind of excited to see how many eggs there might be today!

I guess you can guess what Billy ate for lunch yesterday…..

Yep, egg salad sandwiches!
