1 year and counting!

We have had the girls, six hens, for just over a year now and they are doing well and laying.  We generally get 5 or 6 eggs a day and have even been able to share with some neighbors.
The girls are totally free range, during daylight hours, which means that we sometimes have to go looking for them.  Unfortunately that means that they sometimes try to cross the road.  I find myself asking them "Why do you chickens have to cross the road, especially when you have miles of woods to explore in the opposite direction?"  I usually only get a puzzled look from them, but interpret it to mean "Because it's there!"
They are an adventuresome and mischievous bunch.  We have fenced in the kitchen garden so that the won't eat all the young plants there and if they feel we haven't given them there evening rations soon enough, they will fly over the fence and help themselves to what is supposed to be our future food.  But mostly they are good hens.

They like to sit under a bamboo and bathe in the dust.
