Roosters - 4. Godfather, Big Red, Black, and Rockstart
The original - lost count
We continue to get approx 6 eggs a day. On Sunday found a green egg for the first time in a long time.

Hawk Attack
On Thursday, Dec 5 a hawk attacked one of the October chickens. After football practice, I was on my way to close up the coop when I noticed a hawk on the ground over one of the chickens. I shewed the hawk away but the chicken was already dead. It was one of the new Barred Rocks.
