hen2.jpg (32318 bytes) Red Silkie hen - who lays most of the eggs!
We selected Silkies and Frizzles b/c they don't fly. So they stay off the rabbit cages.
hen3.jpg (37881 bytes) One of my girls, a Silkie hen, is an unusual silver color. Old rabbit nestboxes were turned on their ends and nailed along one empty wall for the girls.
hens4.jpg (48228 bytes) The chickens eat bugs and spilled feed. They also keep the rabbit manure stirred up which, in turn, keeps the manure dry and odor free.
rooster1.jpg (43205 bytes) This is the real-live "Little Red Hen." I love the Frizzle feathers!!
chick1.jpg (19500 bytes) First chick of 2003!
UPDATE:
We now have 12 chicks hatched. Chicks that grow up to be roosters are sold. We will keep only 4 female chicks.

June, 2003: Oh, no!!!!! More chicks!
But look!! Two more silver chicks! All right! We just learned this silver variety of Silkies is rare. Hope they are hens.
These little Frizzle hens were produced by Little Red Hen, when loaned out to CT Rabbitry in Alice. Thanks, guys!!
