We ended up not getting hens that are already laying, nor ones that are all the same breed. Once we got there, we saw a pen of various pullets, and decided that we wanted birds that could grow with us. They are three-months-old and should begin laying around six-months-old. We have a lot to learn and these young ladies will help us.

| Trying to capture moving birds in a still mode is difficult. |
