The Girls are doing great, the first flock is already 12 weeks old ... and no pressure here but every day I remind them that eggs production is around the corner !!!!

The colors of the pictures are really off but they were either in the shade or running away !!! .... They totally not collaborated for this shooting session !!!!

Relaxing under the mandarines !!!

The little sisters .... they are 5 weeks old, they have been pastured for over 2 weeks already. I waited much longer with the first flock before letting them run around (books usually say 4 weeks) but talking with experts I started to let them out earlier and I think they are doing much better ...

Having chickens is the best pest control system ... They are scratching all the time ... Usually pastured chickens get 15 % of their diet from bugs/green but I am sure it must be more ....

No pictures of the Leghorn Light Brown, they are so shy that it is impossible to get pictures. They are also very aggressive with each other and I am not sure I will keep on getting them. I will see how the eggs production goes.
