We picked up two new chickens today at the mill in Walnut Cove. They’re both Golden Comets.
Luckily, we’ve not lost any hens in the last year, so we figured that two new hens would suffice for 2014. Counting the two new girls, there are now eight chickens at the abbey. We got Golden Comets because of their sweet personalities and the fact that they’re efficient layers.
As usual, they will live in a big bird cage in the bay window until they’re old enough to go out to the chicken house and hold their own with the big chickens.
