Who the cluck are they?


We got the new 'hens' in two weeks ago. We gave the two cockerels back to the breeder as it's very difficult to squeeze eggs out of them. We've been assured that these two are definitely female.

Feathers crossed we might get some eggs in the summer time.

They are taking their time settling in but, slowly, they are finding their feet. In the pics here it was a nice sunny afternoon and they were doing a spot of sunbathing.

These chickens are again Silkies but, unlike the previous two, they are Blue Silkies. We've called one Lavender and one Thumbelina as she's tiny and missing a toe.
