Our friend Jade came to visit last weekend and, as I have passed my love of chickens onto her (sorry, not sorry!)
She decided that she should go and get some more hens to add to her flock, from our favourite poultry supplier - Sign of the Owl
I was adamant that I wasn't going to get any more, I didn't want any more.
5 was quite enough...
And then I saw the leghorns!
Leghorns are a pretty little birds, they come in array of colours, have very large combs and lay smallish white eggs. On the day that we visited the pen was full of blacks, with one particularly scrawny little white.
Neither of us fancied the white, so we got a black hen each and I also bought a lavendar hybrid.
I named my two new hens Myfanwy and Mrs Floppy head and took them home where they joined my flock. I then proceeded to tell Jade all about how she was a bad influence and that we were never going to Sign of the Owl again...😂
Well, Jade went home on Sunday and I have spent the last few days thinking about the sad little white chicken so today I went and collected her too!
I am now at maximum capacity with 8 birds, but goodness me I love them.
The new girl needs a name, but for now she will be Britney, because Oops I did it again!
Here are a few pictures of the new girls below:
These really are the last hens now!!!
