Re: Hen house

They've arrived - they don't look as bad as I anticipated but they are a bit 'thread bare' in patches poor things. And they have given me 3 eggs in 12 hours!!!!! More photos as I get time.






and here is the first one:

Re: Hen house

I haven't named them so any suggestions will be gratefully received.

5 eggs in 24 hours - not bad. They seem to have settled in and are definitely finding some kind of pecking order.


I got 6 hens all together.

Re: Hen house

Are you going to sell the eggs Paul or are they breakfast everyday?

Henrietta has to be one of the names.

Re: Hen house
