Value for money

Just put the chux away and one of the new girls had laid!

Hello Ladies!

The other half decided that we didn’t have enough layers at the moment since I sold my leghorns’ trio, the orpingtons went broody, the hybrids started moulting and the only white stars we could lay our hands on are still chicks. So we headed off for Kinmel Bay – there is actually a garden centre that sells chickens! – and invested in these two beauties. They are Black Rocks, 20 weeks and 1 day old so should start laying very, very soon.

Yes, it’s a bit blurry but they were rather excited at the time, although not as excited as Barolo, our red-mottled leghorn cockerel, was when he saw them.
