Big Connie




This is Big Connie. She is another Araucana and is top of the pecking order for our small flock of four hens. We obtained both Big Connie and Little Connie from Craig's List last October. A family in San Jose was selling their older hens at $4 each. I think we took these hens on their first car ride ever down Mt. Hamilton. Big Connie lays blue-colored eggs, about two or three per week. Younger hens lay every day, but older hens slow down. She is three to four years old, we think.
