You go to the garden centre for one thing...
and come back with, er, three hens!
Poor things, I felt so sorry for them. There were eight in a pen 1.5 x 1.5m and they were eating each others' tails. Their beaks have been badly clipped, so all will need a sandpaper trim when they have calmed down a little bit.
Sold as egg layers, I'd say they were a month off laying yet, they have small combs and wattles, but they are still very pale.
Pics tomorrow in decent light
