I've just popped a new blog post up over on the Poultry Pages about our newbies here. They are turning into such beautiful hens https://www.chickens.allotment-garden.org/poultry-diary/1659/cock-a-doodle-doo-16-weeks-old-and-reaching-maturity/
Little John the Brahma is huge already, a head above the other girls, but such a gentle giant with it. I'm hoping in a few weeks we may get our first eggs, although it wouldn't surprise me if a few of the girls hold out another month or so. Gabriel has loved hatching and rearing his own little backgarden flock, now I just need to work on his aversion to eating eggs!!
Here are some proper pics of them all - Buff (Buff Sussex/hybrid/unknown cross), Princess Lay-ah (Welsummer), Darth Vader & Hen-Solo (Spangled Orpingtons) and Little John :)
