My love has, for a while now, been under the spell of the idea of owning some chickens ... Well, having plenty of really good chicken coops on the property, we decided to start a little flockette of them, who are now pottering under the supervision and are of a borrowed broody hen and seem to be doing absolutely fine. They are in a small cage here, which when we got them was outside in the sun for a few days, close to the house, to allow them to get used to things. The accommodation style seemed a bit cramped for Mathilda (the hen), who's quite big, esp. when fluffed up, so we took the whole menagerie down the hill. Now this case is sitting in a bigger pen where they have space to roam, forage and peck away to their heart's delight. Their names: Flo, Arabella and Dotty. Cute, no?
