Our heritage Barred Holland Hens have been most prolific in their laying this winter. Very nice in a time when most hens are taking a break from laying. Being a heritage breed it took them a lot longer to mature to laying age (over five months before we saw our first egg) and I appreciate that they are making up for it now. I just love to watch them run around the property and see them perching on fence posts and out scavenging for seeds.

| Beautiful and yummy fresh eggs. |

| The hens (the darker colored ones) mostly like to range far out into the pastures, the roosters however like to stay close to the chicken run. |

| I think it's funny how the roosters blend in to the gravel on the driveway. Tommy Turkey is great at photobombing. |
