At last - we have collected our hens
« on: September 01, 2009, 08:58 »
We collected four ex-batts today ...



We've ringed them, simply to be able to identify them quickly, although I wish I'd never suggested we each give one of them a name! The rings are green, red, blue and yellow, so their names are Gertrude, Roberta (Bobby), Bridget and Yonlande (Yoda) :rolleyes:
two daughters, nine hens, two goldfish, three cats ...

Oh well done, beulah!  They look just like my daft old things.  I've had mine a month and they're just starting to become really friendly (except for one, who's not well).  If you have any questions, you'll find the answers here - they're a jolly useful lot  :D

Good luck with them - you'll fall in love with them in no time!

They are gorgeous girls! You will find that you spend hours just watching them. We have had our chooks for over a year now and they are still mesmerizing.
