We got 5 more RHR hens last night, the older RHR hens and Colin are not pleased  You would think that Colin would be happy to have 5 more ladies to look after.
The neighbour bought 5 hens an 4 cocks too, the cocks to rear to eat.  She finished off the last of her 3 cocks this afternoon.  She sold the other cocks in the week (killed and cleaned out) for 33€ which is around 23 pounds!! give or take a bit!! 6€ per kilo she charged :shock: She gave us a leg and a thigh, it was tasty, thank goodness ours was free

Hi Pamela

Well congratulations - I'm sure they'll settle down fairly quickly and Colin will absorb them into his harem

Colins playing hard to get, he'll come round.

Wow someone else with new hens! maybe Colin is being kind and letting the new girls settle in before he pounces! Hope they are soon part of your flock and being loved by Colin!

Good luck!

Silly new hens, one decided to roost in the orange tree and another went awol last night, this morning I was out early looking in all the trees for her, no sign, I let out the other hens and then discovered her on top of the roof of the hen house! She must have roosted in a tree and decided to take the hardt way down via the roof!! I managed to grab hold of her (much to her annoyance) and shoved her into the hen house.  So today we trim back the orange trees!! At least she didn´t jump off into the olive grove, then it would have been fun getting her back :shock:
