Cold and snow!

Yes the hens are doing great and even a few have ventured outside in the snow. Tonight I put a good 4" of new bedding in their coop and I am sure they will love it. At Mom's barn I did the same for the big pen and the bantams.

Three Freckled eggs

One Copper Maran chicken laid the eggs in the back. She is black with dark brown feathers around their neck. We have three of the chickens. The three chickens are all sisters.

This is writen by me Rebecca Steve's 9 year old daughter.

Big doubles!

These big ones were layed just the other day. The picture was taken by my 9 year old daughter. She did a great job. They also tasted great!

Waiting in line

We( son Steve and I ) have 42 laying hens between both homes and this is a new gal at my farm getting ready to lay, but she wants a nest that is already taken. She stood there for quite a while hoping and waiting, but the white hen wouldn't budge. Hens tend to lay in the same nest every day. The white one is a Light Brahma, and the black one is a Langshan mix that I hope will lay green eggs. She is a newbie, and I don't know what she will give us yet.

We won't post every day, but do stop back now and then to see what our girls are up to.

Welcome to Woodynookview Egg Farm's blog!

My Mom and I have 42 laying hens between two coops that supply us with fresh eggs daily. Our birds are cage free, and are alowed to go outside in pens (we have to have them fenced because of predators) daily and just be themselves. From time to time we will post pictures and stories about them.
