We have two little friends to add to our suburban farm - Yay! So meet Ivy and Florence. These two are ISA Browns that we picked up at the local farmers and craft market.
ISA Browns are a crossbred chicken that are probably the best layers within the chicken family. They lay approximately 300 eggs per year. They have a bit of a reputation of being a bit high strung and sometimes a bit of a bully. But these two are just the opposite and seem to be best of friends. Both are a bit shy at the moment but are getting tamer every day.
Ivy is a bit of a houdini escaped on the first two days - so both have had a wing clipped now and it seems to have solved the problem.

Hopefully our first eggs will follow soon! But they are such fun and interesting pets despite also giving us nice, fresh eggs.
