Introducing some new girls to our flock

Since you can never have too many eggs we decided to get 3 more girls. The original idea was the half dozen, but then 7 seemed tempting so 3 more it was. Again we bought our chickens from happychicks (www.happychicks.co.uk). Sarah has a really great choice of birds and a lovely set up with happy chicks (excuse the pun!).

Here are some photos of our original girls:

Nugget



Snowny with her impressive comb!



Hiding away in the house are the new babies. Blossom (white) is a Tiffany green who should lay green-shelled eggs and Noodles (black and white) is a Sussex.



Blossom seems to have quite a well developed comb. They are 16 weeks old point of lay, but certainly seem further forward than our original chickens. This, coupled with the approaching spring, should hopefully mean they come into lay quite quickly.



We also have a bluebelle/blue ranger who is currently un-named. Favourite suggestions include dusty and damson. Decision to be made shortly.
