Ridic. A Large Black Cochin. Our first chicken at this residence. Bought at Boomer's Feed. Hatched May '99. Two weeks old when we brought him home.

Henny Penny. A Banty Rhode Island Red. A replacement for a "pullet" we bought that started crowing (pullet=young hen). From Boomer's Feed. Probably hatched in '98. About a year old when we picked her out. Has 10 chicks at the time of this photograph (June, '00). A good hen. 100% hatch and all healthy!

Frederic. Some variety of Polish. Was with a bunch headed for Chinese restaurant. Bought at Boomer's Feed. Hatched about March '99. About 3 months old when we got him. Watches over all the hens and pens. Thinks all the hens are his. Very busy,

The Three Sisters. Golden Comet Sexlinks. Bought at Burdic Feed. Hatched April '00. A couple days old when bought on first day of Spring. For eggs to eat and to give the neighbors (who are very patient about all the crowing around here)
