chicken

I have gotten chickens for my home. They are asian jungle fowl (rooster & 4 hens), Americana, and Rhode island reds. I have 8 in all. They free range all day on my 1.6 acres and get in their coop every night and I shut the door. The reds lay double yolk eggs. Chickens love to eat drone grubs and hive beetles. Wax moths are a special treat. They watch me unload the truck when I get home to see what treats I have. I have had them since April and really enjoy their company. One is roosting under the trailer and I think I may see chicks soon, or a fox or coon will get her. Heard some commotion the other night and in the morning she was in a tree. Skunk had come through, he may have gotten those eggs.
