The Flock

When the hens cooperate

The Rustin Farms girls gathered around a feeder in the yard

The chickens are part of everyday life at Rustin Farms — underfoot in the yard, talking in the shade, and following whoever looks like they might be carrying something interesting.

When the girls are laying well, there are eggs. When they are not, there are not. That is just how it goes.

Some are bold, some keep to themselves, and Cash is convinced the whole place belongs to him.

If you want a dozen, ask. We will tell you what availability actually looks like that week.
