Day 12 at the big hen house!!!! Check out the photo`s of the brood!!!!! Well today so far has been quite...just the odd chase around the pen lol....Its funny how we just think of chickens as chickens but they all have their own personality... Blanche for instance is top of the pecking order although I tend to think this is due to her being the oap of the group not because she has any the brains to lead. aged 5 Alice and Gladys are thugs....always together the terrible twins....Gladys is one of the ugliest chickens...she has a miss shapen beak and long scraggy neck think a turkey may have been in her ancestry. Alice has no feathers on her belly never has had..and she is small and creates all the trouble...a proper nosey, bossy,hen ....always the first to run to the gate to see what is happening.....she follows you around...the typical nosey neighbour...both aged 3 **Rocky** is like whiley koyote...can run like Hussein Bolt...also either brave or stupid...(ruscued Black rock)about 10-12 weeks Daisey is the white one (a wells summer)..she is going to be one big chicken...looks after Bluebell a proper mother hen! approx 16 weeks and last but not least Bluebell she is fast becoming my favourite....a sweet natured chicken...timid...but loves to be cuddled..follows Daisy for protection against the thugs...and is always the last to eat abopprox 15-16 weeks old. They did all manage to roost in the same house last night with-out too much thuggery...lets see what today brings!!!!!
