the pictures are lovely and the thing I notice then most is that the hens and everything surrounding them is so CLEAN!

I look out of my window and what do I see?  Two black rocks who, ok are sort of clean in a gubby sort of just been digging  in  muddy puddly bit of garden sort of way and a Lavender Pekin  whos appearance I canot even start to describe....dust bath/mud bath who cares......it's lovley.

Yes, I can honestly say "my three girls" are the scrffiest, messiest birds around...unless of course you know diferent?   :roll:

Yup, I can relate to that .....

Thank You  all  for your lovely coments.  And I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to RICHIE, for posting my pics.  All of my chooks are Marans.  The gold hen isn't a year old yet, but she just hatched out 2 peeps on May 30th.  She left the nest to soon, so that's all I got.  I'll get pics of them to ya soon.  Well I finally got them Pics on here for ya all to see, I want to thank you for all the help this site has been to us.  I was green when I got them, and they were sick, but with all your help, we came through fine.  This site has taught me alot about bein a chicken farmer.

Your Hens are beautiful! At the moment mine are always looking bedraggled and a bit muddy - poor thing!
