Chickens Are Awesome

We have about 21 hens that are currently laying.  all of our birds get locked up at night, but "free range during the day.  We have 16 Guinea hens as well. Living in Missouri and the country, ticks are a "dime a dozen", so the guineas come in quite handy.   We call the rooster, Big Red, and there are a few hens that stay close to him.
