Finally, we have some new hens. We had hoped to get some Rhode Island or Marrams but for now, are happy to have four new hybrids.
New Chickens
We kept them in the ark for a couple of days till they got used to the new surroundings. Poor things had probably never seen a green field.
But now they are wandering about exploring and learning.
This is William, and he looks proud having got some new ladies to look after. They were actually pecking ever so gently at his feathers. Not sure if they were trying to preen him or just thinking he may be good enough to eat.
Even the ducks are happy, as all the rain we’ve had, has filled the pond up!

No the ladies don’t have names yet – need to get to know them a bit more! Send suggestions this way!

Loving William and his girls. Where had they come from (having not seen green fields?!) One is pleased that they have come to a Happy Poultry Haven. Having just finished Dickens girls names should be Betsy, Peggotty, Dora and Agnes! xxx

Trust you to turn to Dickens for names – but actually they are rather good. Particularly like Peggotty and we’ve had a Maud before which reminds me of Agnes:)
