New Addition?

Yum
What's new on the farm? 2 new chickens!  We (well mainly just me) are so excited about adding these two new chickens to our flock. They are Black Copper Marans


They will grow up to be a dark colored bird. Why am I so excited? Because they lay the most beautiful "chocolate" colored eggs. While I have never seen these eggs myself, I have seen lots of photo's of them, and I am sooo excited. We are hopeful that both of the chicks are hens.


If you want to see what color of eggs we are hoping to add to our collection, 


In the mean time, the rest of the ladies are keeping busy. 
Enjoying the green grass and bugs that were out of their reach all winter long.
(And the kitchen scraps I just gave them!)



Won't the dark colored eggs look beautiful mixed in with these?

  9. They are gorgeous little birds, I love them! I can't wait until we get chickens. I think we're still a few years away, the hubby and I decided this year that we want to build a green house first, before we get our chickens and goats. So, probably next year we'll build the greenhouse and then chickens will follow the next year. So, grrrr, I'm a ways away. I'll have to live vicariously through your chickens Kris :-)

    Hope you are having a great week!

    1. Jessica ~ I know when you are ready to add the chickens and goats you will enjoy them so much! I only wish I could convince my husband that we should add bee's to our farm. I'll just have to enjoy reading about yours for now :)
