Our laying hens:
Our birds are an integral part of our lifestyle here at Maple Hill Farm. Our laying hens are a low-maintenance flock, and they are prolific layers of fresh, brown eggs. At this point, we have a mixed flock of red sex links, white rocks, welsummers, and a very nice pair of Hill Roamers.
2015 Chicks!!
We were given some fertile eggs by our good friends at Enchanted Hill, and we were able to hatch out several successfully. These will be new members for our aging flock, and we are so excited to have them.
The chicks are growing SO well. August 2015:
2016 Chicken update:
Ruthie is doing a poultry chain 4H project this year and raising her own small flock of black sex link chickens. They are doing extremely well in their home in the barn, and we plan on keeping a few of these beautiful birds to add to our coop.
