Sissy & Betty?

I spoke to the shuy from All Year Round Birds today to ask why we've not had any eggs yet from our hens? I was told that it's because of the lack of sun light at this time of the year. I asked him why both out hens crow in the morning? Silence on the other end of the phone. "Eh, because you might have two cockerels."

When i played down the phone the video I posted the other week so he could hear them he said, "yeah, that's not a hen".

That's probably more to do with the lack of eggs then the sunlight thing.

Anyway, we've to take them out next week to his place and he's going to replace them. So it turns out that they are more Stevie and Bert than Sissy and Betty.

Here's pictures of Calvin trying to squeeze eggs out of them. In one of the pictures he's holding Sissy up in the air like Simba in the Lion King. It's the circle of life.
