INTRODUCING THE LADIES

As I have introduced the two new ladies it's time you met the older ladies:
BERYL:
Beryl & Daisy where our first chickens we got them at 2 weeks old from Allenscroft Primary School.
They are Hy Line hens and were destined for a life as battery hens had not Kerry the school secretary persuaded us that we must have chickens.
Beryl is definitely the boss.
She knows when we're eating toast and will come to the patio doors and stare at you.
DAISY:

Daisy is the most affectionate chicken, she likes being cuddled and has a soft spot for Jack. Here they are taking 40 winks together. Aaaaarrrrrrhhh cute.
We recently noticed that Daisy is very short sighted and can only really see out of her left eye. Chicken specs are needed can anyone help?






DOTTIE:

Dottie was the first of our Cream Legbars, she's a slightly sickly chicken, quite small, shy and lays an egg every two weeks! You know it's her egg as it's very tiny.




ETHEL:
Ethel is also a Legbar she is a lot bigger than Dottie and has the floppiest comb which almost completely covers her left eye.






Cream Legbars lay lovely blue eggs. Here's the first one Ethel layed next to a brown one of Berly's

BLACK ROCK CHICKS.

Last Saturday I decided to go get two new chickens. Here they are all snug in the pet carrier on the way home.








I got them from Oak Meadow Farm check out the website if you're looking for chickens, ducks, geese, quails or pigeons: http://www.oakmeadowfarm.co.uk/forsale.htm

We've named them, Tina Turner & Grace Jones.....black rock chicks...get it?

Grace is the darker of the two, has black legs. She's the quite one.








Tina has more brown feathers on her chest and white legs. She managed to escape from her temporary coop on the second night turning up at 6am the next morning. Tina is very fast & very confident.
