We got 3 Rhode island red hens (or at least we hope they are hens). They are only 3 weeks right now. They are so much easier to take care of than rabbits, but there poop is much messier and they tend to make a huge mess of their water and food dispensers. The names are Darla (after little rascals), Chubakah or chewy, and Apple Cinnamon but they call her Mac as in the lap top because her name is apple. It is a new experience for our family seeing as we only have rabbits, dogs and cats. I plan on showing them in the fair and my dad plans on using their eggs for breakfast to save money. The rabbits do not like when the flies come during summer but, the chickens seem to love them! we are planning on building a coop under our peach tree away from the dogs and potential dangers.
