This is my flock of hens and one rooster that I had incubated about 4 years ago. Today my hens are very good layers and I have recently started a new flock. It was a struggle to keep their health in good condition but after many years they're doing quite well. Australorps, Blue Easter Egger hen and Plymouth Rock hen and I have recently added a New Hampshire female hen to my old hens. My advice to keeping them healthy and hydrated during the summer is adding apple cider vinegar to the water. They are free range chickens on my backyard but I have fenced them to a portion of the backyard 22 ft by 16 ft. I had to make room for a new flock that I am breeding gray rooster, red chicken and a black and white chicken. Hopefully I will get an interesting combination
