Introduction

For my first blog post I would like to introduce you to my chickens. I have fourteen chickens in total. Thirteen hens and a single rooster. There is one big black hen, I have had her since I got my first chickens. There is a small pheasant looking hen, she is the egg sitter. She stays in the coop and looks after all the eggs, squawking at you if you try to take any of them. There is also eleven brown chickens that are our egg layers. They lay about eight to ten eggs a day and all look and act exactly the same. Finally, there is the one big rooster. He is King Crazy Chicken III, grandson of the original rooster I had which was a little nuts at times. He is white feathered but has a dirty yellow neck with brown and black splotches on his back. He acts like a king within the pen crowing at all hours of the day, not just mornings. These are my chickens and they are an interesting site to see within my own backyard.
