Our Hens

These are out hens, they don't live at the allotment but in our back garden. They sleep in an ark and have part of the garden fenced off to let them walk around. Last time we had chickens we let them free range the whole garden but not this time as I didn't want to spend my time avoiding poo.

I'm not sure on the age of these hens but the black one which is a Maran is a big bird and the other is a Rhode Island Red. At the moment we are only getting one egg a day which I think is being laid by the Rhode Island Red but not 100% sure. We got hens for their eggs to go along with our fresh produce.
