Single hen

1 week after they came home, and 6 days of antibiotics later, here are the promised photos of my new girls. I am still deciding on the names for 2 of them. Today was their first taste of freedom, grass and real sunshine on their backs - something they have certainly never known before. Normally we let our girls out 2 or 3 days after we get them but I wanted then to have their full dose of antibiotics and most of their flubenvet first. The red netting is allowing the 2 flocks to free range seperately (and it is working!)

 

Out they come, 1 by 1

 

Our Barnvelder - head girl (of the newbies at least)

 

Chilling! Our silkie Tallulah, Buff orp Artichoke, and Indian Game enjoy the sunshine

 

I love this sunshine! Artichoke peers at the camera

 

Our aracauna is a bit more camera shy!

They look as though they are really enjoying the freedom. Talullah has such a pretty soft face.

At last! (Not that I'm impatient at all )

 

Mate, they are stunning. I am already in love with Tallulah and Artichoke - they look like total babies! Can't wait to meet them. You're right, the Barnevelder is small - she'll soon fill out. I should bring Chive down and show you how big she'll be soon!!

 

Ooh, I'm so pleased for you. And very jealous of the blue eggs already. *Looks accusingly at Coriander*

 

I take it Andy's pleased to finally get his Orp

 

See you on Sunday!

He is although he thinks she should be called Artemis. So it is Art for short and that way we both have names for her!
