4 of them, called Tuesday and Wednesday (Maran X ?) and Thursday and Friday ( Ex battery hens, not sure of the breed?). These lovely hens needed a new home and so I said we would love to have them. And today Hen from the INEBG forum came over with them and she and her ( soon to be husband!) stayed for a cuppa and a chat and watched the new girls settle in...




Hen's other half with one of the Marans on his shoulder...I think Wednesday?

and they did! so much so that when I went out after Dr Who, Wednesday had laid an egg!
They look lovely and happy and very eggsited (sorry couldn't resist), what you going to do with all those eggs?
