Found a hen in the street "Backyard Chicken"

If anyone is the bedroom, they can hear you talking through the window and will come to see what's up. This is the one that was smart enough to fly over the snow but won't lay any eggs. She is an Easter Egger, which is a sort of chicken mutt. They are named easter eggers because as a "breed" they can lay eggs of any color (yellow, green, blue, brown), although the egg color of an individual bird won't change.


This one looks like a rooster but slings eggs like a boss. If I remember correctly, this is a Colombian Rock. If I even think about this chicken, she sprints across the yard to where I should be to see if I have food for her.

In early December I emptied the compost into the garden.


Every single day since then, the chickens spend a few hours each afternoon mixing it into the garden for me. I'm still going to rent a rototiller and add some more dirt to mix it all in, but chickens have really upped my compost game.

Our Easter egger managed a double yolker the other day. Holy crap.
