We now have our Mrs Chickens.
There's Butterscotch & Toffee the Bovan Goldlines (reddish brown ones) and Chick-Chick who is a Black Star.
They are settling in well and are already such characters. Chick Chick is the noisiest and seems to have declared herself top chook - she was the first to venture out of the house to explore. Butterscotch and Toffee are a little quieter and a little more reticent.
We're all getting to know each other although they're already very friendly. My first task is to train them to climb the ladder - there was much panic and sqwaking at dusk yesterday when they didn't seem to know what to do! Hopefully they'll get the hang of climbing the wooden hill to bedfordshire soon!
