The new girls in the hen house!

This week we have some new arrivals to our farm. My mother came bearing four Rhode Island red chickens to add to our flock. They are sisters to some of our girls(from the same batch of hens as ours from last summer). She had twenty-one birds and only enough room for fourteen in her coop this winter so we have some lovely new ladies to help round-out our seven into a wonderful eleven! I was a little worried about introducing the new chickens to the flock as we have had some trouble with the trio we bought a few weeks ago, but its almost as though they were there all along. With no more then a few feathers flying and a few squawks, none of them seam any worse for wear.
