Today we brought home four Wyandotte hens, hopefully, to supply eggs for us for the season. They are four beautiful birds from my niece, Ilana in Milbrook, NY. We got them settled into the Chicken Tractor in my garden shed for the first few days. Then they'll go out into the garden. They seem comfortable - giving off soft clucking sounds, eating and drinking freely, and scratching in the litter. It seems great to have some farm animals back on the place after an absence of more than twenty years! Next weekend or early next week I expect to receive 25 day old chicks - New Hampshire Reds and that will complete the livestock acquisitions for this summer. We'll see how it goes.
