Thanks everyone, I think they are absolutely gorgeous but I'm biased!  :D

I've been telling everyone at work today about my new additions, they wanted to know if pure breeds have better tasting eggs.. ::) O dear.....  :wub:  I did have to explain to one of them once where eggs come from...  :ohmy: then she wanted to know if she could keep chickens in a flat  :ohmy:

They are stunning!  What lovely, feathery, beautiful birds!

My sister has been explaining to her two-and-a-half year old son where his breakfast eggs come from.  Apparently he didn't believe her at first, but is gradually accepting the idea that they grew inside a chicken!  I'm looking forward to my girls laying so he can collect the eggs and see it all in action.

Honeysuckle, if your colleague is more than two and a half years old, it's a rather sad indictment on city life...  :unsure:
