Can I join in?  

Welsummer, Warren, Black Rock, and now Bluebelle and Amber  :)

I was wondering the other day about how many (on average) people here have ... following a comment Bodger made about most of us only having a few...

Though all you lot with your hatchings, I can't keep up  :lol:
Nobody said this was going to be easy ... but some days are better than others!

Tell me about it ... I've already convinced OH that the maths is this:  if you lose one  :(  you can't just replace it with another one 'cause it will get bullied so you HAVE to get two instead (it's the law!!).

Hence our two new arrivals today ....  :D

Well done peggy price, going to have to try that with my OH. Ive just got a beautiful 6 wk old white sussex, got 3 ex batts. No idea what bread they are, a pekin sebright bantam and a hybrid of some sort that looks like the one on front of poultry pages. My girls are all beautiful.

My girls are as follows.......
3 Light Sussex
1 Magpie
2 Black Rocks
2 Bluebelles
All chosen for egg laying.

Would love some 'pretties' but can't go through anguish of introducing new stock again!
