It's all Flocked up around here!

  I know the title is cheesey but I really could not help myself.

 So I found this lady on craigslist that was down sizing her flock of hens that are about 1yr old. Turns out it is a home we lived by for 3 months (while waiting for our home to be vacant) that I always drove by and wanted to stop there to buy eggs from her, just never got around to it. This woman Beth, was just a great woman. I purchased 4 new lil year old hens from her, 2 Buff Orphingtons now named Wynona and Naomi "The Judds" lol along with a Beautiful Silver Laced Wyandotte whom is now "Lacey" and last but not least, a black Austrolarp currently with out name. Now I have a total of 9 amazing hens.

  I never knew how much I loved chickens. We had a few quick squabbles between some of the girls when I put them together, but all in all they seem to be fine. Although this was the first time I had to rangle up chickens for the night. The old girls just go right in. Plus I had one of the Buffs that decided she was going off on her own and came inside the house yard or "dog yard" that was fun getting her all the way back to where she needed to be.
  She yelled back at me as I chased her, aparently she felt she had the right to be where she was. But I showed her!
  Now they are all in the coop, deciding whom is going to sleep where. Not really any fighting just compromising.
  Oddly though, one of the Rock girls "Mrs. Pecky Peckerton" got into one of the nest boxes and made it look like she was going to lay for me...... She looked at me and told me I should go look it up and see if it was ok for her to lay this late in the evening. So I did, and yes hens lay at all times of the day. As I do I became very excited and went out to check on her progress, still there she sat in the box. I waited a few then out I went again... and .... there it was...... NOTHING! Nope, not a thing. I got a look of " ha ha I got you".
