The Chicken Tractor is finally finished thanks to the incredible work of Farmer Phatty and Paul D. It turned out to be such an extravagent structure that it has been dubbed the Chick Ritz. In a few more months we will have farm fresh eggs every day. I have been told that every hen lays one egg per day, so that’s a dozen a day! Good thing we love eggs around here.
We have 12 laying hens of the following breeds; Rhode Island Reds, Winespots, Buff Orpingtons and Americanas. In the video we share the names we’ve chosen for them and of course they are all named after female musicians. I mean how else would we do it at Rock Star Farms?
If you eat eggs, consider getting a few hens of your own. They are fun and easy to raise, they will save you money and they provide hours of entertainment – which takes you away from the television and keeps you outside in nature.
