Welcome to Hen House on Maple!
Our Hens
Millie
I’m the baby of the family, by 2 weeks. Although I was born with special needs, it doesn’t hold me back. Due to a skull deformity, my beak is crossed. I love bugs much more than my sisters. I was the first one to find a worm!
Kevin
Yes, I’m a girl and yes, my name is really Kevin. I am named after the bird in the movie Up. I’m an Olive Egger. I was the first one to start laying eggs. My egg color is taupe.
Maizy
I am an Easter Egger, which is a mixed breed created to lay blue or green eggs. I like to keep to myself. If my sisters make me mad, I’m not afraid to let them know by pecking them
Bebe
I’m a Barred Rock. I have a twin sister (that’s her in the picture behind me) her name is Birdie. My breed comes from Massachusetts. I’m the first one to greet my human friends when they walk in, I love to jump in their laps and sometimes their back too.
Olive
I’m a Black Copper Marans. I’m a lot like my sister, Kevin. I like when the humans come visit, but I don’t want them to pick me up. I’m easy going and I get along with my sisters. I come from Western France. A movie reference, is James Bond had a Marans eggs for breakfast every morning.
Dottie
I am a Brown Leghorn, my breed was originally found in Italy. I lay white eggs. Currently I’m not the oldest, but the biggest. I’m one of the first to try new things! I’m one of the loudest sisters. I am named Dottie because when I was a baby I had a lot of dots!
Maren
I’m supposed to be a Black Marans, but by the looks of me it appears I may be something different. I’m the most talkative when the humans come to visit. I love raw oatmeal as a treat!
Charlotte
Hi, I’m a cream legbar, my breed came from United Kingdom. I am mostly quiet, but when I have something to say you will definitely hear it! I lay blue eggs, and who doesn’t want blue eggs?
Darla
I used to be the runt. I don’t like to be held and my sister Maizy does not either. I am the same breed as Maizy (Easter Egger) but we are mixed with different breeds.
Birdie
I am a Plymouth Rock.
