The cheek coop
Crowing
We purchased a couple of older chicks at our flea market in the late summer last year. One turned out to be a rooster and a good one at that. He does a great job at keeping our ladies safe. If he hears or sees anything that may be dangerous he sounds the alarm and everyone goes into the hen house and waits for the āall clearā.
The other is a barn yard mix of some sort. She has Americana features so we were expecting a
Light blue/green egg. She started laying this week and to our surprise
She lays an olive egg. The picture below has our Americanaās to the right and the olive on the left.
Iām super excited because itās not what we expected. Chickens never cease to amaze me.
(The picture doesnāt do it justice. It is much darker in person.)
