Formerly Known as Hens
We are not having a lot of luck with buying baby chicks. For Mother's Day, Farmer Jeff bought 5 Ameraucana hens for me. They are the ones that lay the fabulous pale green eggs and are descendants of the Peruvian chickens, Araucanas.
Just a couple of days ago I was out in the pen when I heard an adolescent crowing. I looked at each and every chicken for the early signs of roosterhood when I caught both Duchess and Sophia belting out little, puny cockadoodle-doos.
DANG!
We are probably going to end up selling the fellows and buying some more hens. Sigh...they are sure handsome but they just don't deliver those gorgeous green eggs!
You have to know with our love of pork...that we HAVE to have green eggs and ham! (sorry...just couldn't help it!)

Hee. Now you have a Boy Named Duchess and a Boy Named Sophia. Maybe you should name the next one Soo. :)
