three fat hens
black & white beauties
feasting
Out on a walk around the neighborhood, I spotted these black and white birds. Their colors stopped me. I couldn’t help but wonder what they were and where they belonged; there was no fence and no coop in sight. They were just ‘free as a bird!’ When I got home, I looked them up here’s what I found:
This is a Plymouth Rock hen. These chickens are family-friendly, good with children and pets. They’re calm and relatively quiet, and they’re capable of laying 4-5 eggs every week. They don’t fly well and are trusted, and with enough time and practice they can become lap chickens, if you so desire!
