I have new chickens too! - Pictures added!

Recommended Posts

We 'lost' Evangeline just before Christmas, the only good thing about which was that my husband agreed to a couple more chickens (well you can't just get 1!). I reserved a couple from Southmead Poultry and went to collect them yesterday!

So now we have Juno, who is a Skyline (Columbine/Legbar Hybrid), and Rue who is a Sussex Reverse (sometimes called a Daisybelle, I think). They are both absolutely beautiful and I am as pleased as punch!

Got them home just in time to put them into the 'Chicken House that Prim HenMum Built' and they went out into the run for the first time this morning.

Scarlett evidently thought that she and Honeysuckle were the only chickens in the borough, and in her chagrin, made an enormous racket, to which Honeysuckle felt obliged to add her two-penneth. They seem to have got used to the idea that there are other chickens in the world - and in their garden even, and have settled down a bit by tonight!

The two new girlies have soon learned that human = food, and have already learned to advance rather than retreat when I appear!

And finally, Rue and Juno - having a look at the 'big' girls, I think!
