| Me, MOON, holding White Eagle and Sister |
Our new Hens came after our Rhode Island Red `Lucy` passed in early May. They were a joy to hold. We loved them so much we went and got another at the farm up Mid Valley Rd. Her name is Isis named because of her beautiful eyes.

Out two white girls are Brahmas. Brahmas are originally from India and considered gentle giants and the King of Poultry.
27 days later, my little cuties are becoming ladies. Spring has sprung and my young ladies are wearing the latest fashion in Brahma couture. White Eagle, forefront, is dripping in diaphanous white, wisping in the wind, as Sister admires the fluff and fancy out Little Utah Farm.

Even our Border Collie,
Golly Miss Kollie, has immediately taken to herding the three hens
, Isis (brown and 2 Brahma Angels white are her duty now on Little Utah Farm. She watches them makes sure they stay in line and when they separate Kollie gets worried and tries to figure out out to
...reunite them. The hens, 3 of them, wander behind the shed and Kollie herds them back into the yard. Border Collie's look forward to having something to herd and watch over. I have heard they will even herd bugs. Kollie feels very proud and purposeful now that she has her new flock to herd.

I look forward to watching Kollie look after her hens.
Thank you for coming to visit.
Until next time,
