I lost another hen this past weekend, so now I'm down to a roo and 2 hens :( Then hens can fly out of the orchard, although they very rarely do it, but when one of them does, usually the dogs kill them. I clipped their wings last summer. I guess I need to do it again? I wish so badly I could just let them free range safely, but our dogs aren't safe dogs for them. I have now lost 4 hens total. Yours look so happy! Do you start over each spring with new birds? Do you ever keep old birds? Do you have trouble with your dogs? Do you hens range all around your property? (Sorry if I've asked this before.)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-9517849109627373082017-06-07T17:08:59.081-06:002017-06-07T17:08:59.081-06:00Wow!

She is crazy though, and I have never been able to tame her. My new girls are black and red stars. They are good layers because my old hens are black stars. I don't think I have ever had red ones before but they are sweet and gentle. <br />Lovely post Jody.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.com
