Actually my mom came up with the name.
I knew I wanted something in the name about my beloved farm or my chickens.
A few years ago , my mom saw a Christmas card that had a picture of a chicken and the words "3 French Hens" and she said "French Hen Farm!" There are three daughters in my family and my mom thought that was the perfect name, so we became French Hen Farm.
I LOVE my chickens. My husband HATES my chickens. I love watching them cluck around the yard.
They are so much fun to watch on a summer day. They are the pretty, fluffy kind, called Silkies.
I have to agree with my hubby though, they are a lot harder to take care of in the winter.
You have to make sure they are warm, and dry and their water doesn't freeze, and that they are fed.
We have to make sure that my son feeds and waters them. This is one of his chores...
He is not very good at his chores... so it becomes my husbands chore.
Hence, the reason my hubby HATES my chickens!
Silkies are so pretty though. I love it when I drive in the country and there are chickens in the yards of some of the homes.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have chickens, but I have cats and a visiting granddog who I know would chase them. When you say keep them warm, do you mean they have to have heat during the winter?
ReplyDeleteCan hardly wait until your sale to see all the pretty things you're making.

I love chickens too! I have treasured memories of visiting my grandmother and watching her chickens!
ReplyDeleteBTW, how do you keep them warm in the winter? Curious, because I am hoping to move to the country soon and would love to have some running around my yard. I guess I never thought about keeping them warm!
ReplyDeleteHopping over from Two Crazy Crafters to wish you a belated birthday. A neighbor of ours here in Kuwait raises very beautiful (and expensive) chickens that he brought in from Thailand. You certainly found so many wonderful things during your recent beach adventure. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy
