They are lovely Pauline and a great house and run as well. I like the chair in the run - essential for sitting and watching them - we 'waste' lots of time like that.

Do you know what breed your black ones are - we have 2 which are similar but have not been able to put a name to them?

I would have said Blacks are Black Rocks I have 3 of those and they are very similar and the buffs maybe Buff Sussex, I have 3 Sussex.Silkie cross which have similar markings, not sure about the white one maybe sussex too?

hi rosemary

they are not scared of anything as soon as something new goes in run they run straight over to investigate, when I was sort of in the coop putting up the chains for the feeders they were there being nosey (they just couldnt wait for the feeders to go up so they could get some food)

they follow me everywhere when I am in there. its great
