Danish Landrace Hens joined our Homestead

What a great day! First of all it is the day my wife and I got married, nine years ago in Ireland. Happy anniversary my love!
Second thing is we bought 9 gorgeous Danish Landrace Hens, 1 Cock and 8 ladies :) (6 brown hens, 2 black hens and 1 black cock).
They are 13-18 month old and seem very comfortable and safe in their new place :) As soon we released them into the coop Mr. Cock started to cock-a-doodle-doo claiming his little harem. I will keep them inside the coop for 2 days before releasing them outside into the fenced chicken yard so they learn where their food and sleeping quarter is.

My plan is to breed this sort and sell it. They are a very hardy specie, they dont eat much and are disease resistant. Im very happy to have them on our farm :)

About Che

My dear wife and I have bought a 2,5 Hectare farm in Denmark (which we named The Willow Farm) to grow own vegetables, fruits, keep animals and honeybees and live a more simple life withing the eco-system, away from the brain washing consumerist system of more, more, more, more ... Instead "less is more" seems to suit me better. For that reason I finished an 8 month course in Self-sufficient Householding in Sweden (Kretsloppshuset in Varmland), to get the basic insight into this life style. I feel more than ready to plunge into it. Lets see how it all develops. Stay tuned by subscribing to my blog!
