(Born this spring, right here on our farm.)
Age: three months
Favorite food: Watermelon, but they love getting veggie and fruit scraps too! They also enjoy acorn squash, and when Missy moves part of their pen so they have fresh grass, which they gobble up!
Their names: are based off of the book Little Women, Marmee, Jo (Missy's favorite little brown hen) Meg, Beth, Amy, Hannah, aunt March, along with two names from the book Anne of Green Gables - Anne and Diana. The lone roosters' name is John. :)
Fun fact: They were hatched out of eggs from our friends farm, in a incubator placed in our spare room! It was an incredible experience to watch! How did they know when to hatch? How did they know to peck the shell to get out? How do they know how to find tasty bugs, crow and cluck, and (eventually) lay eggs? Our Creator is amazing!
