Meet the Girls.

Meet the new two-legged "girls" that is...


Meet the most dominant hen in the bunch.... Thelma Gertrude. She is large beautiful Rhode Island Red hen. She is the biggest in the group and she is at the top of the pecking order.



Our two Penedensencas are Henrietta, the skinnier one on the left and Hester on right.


Our two Aracaunas are the meanest hens in the bunch... this photo was taken of them "wallowing or rooting" in the garden dirt. The upper standing hen with the browner head is Ruby Grace and the yellow headed hen (who is the meanest of the two meanies) is Bertha Ann.


And finally, our two little Dominicker hens... the smallest of the bunch that seems to get pecked on the most... That's Frances on the left and little Roberta on the right.... hopefully she grows her back feathers back sooner than later!

The Girls Are Here!!!

The newest addition to Wilsons Farms arrived this past Friday! Yep, seven beautiful full-grown hens were delivered to our new Coop deVille just after lunch on Friday... right after the concrete pour and during all the chaos of folks picking out and up their pumpkins. Which is the reason I totally MISSED the transfer of the hens to the coop... Say what??! Yep, and NO ONE took a single picture... Boo hoo. So all I can do is tell you what I heard secondhand and only offer pictures of the girls in the coop afterward.

But, I will tell you that we have: 1 - Rhode Island Red, 2 - Dominiquers, 2 - Araucanas, and 2 - Penedesencas... and all seven of them are beautiful! All seven are named and we will reveal those later... ;)
