John, master of the hoses, of our gravity feed water system.

We maintain a flock of forty or so layers that are a mix of varieties: Barred Rocks, Ameraucanas, Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds and Cuckoo Marans. We get rainbow of colored eggs as a result! During the summer, they roam the fields, scratching for bugs. They are truly free range, never confined, except as night for their protection.
