Chucks



The latest additions of the family arrived in a hurry last night. The plan was to pick them up today (Sunday) but after finishing getting the coop ready yesterday, we phoned to farmer (http://www.cambridgepoultry.co.uk/poultryforsale.htm) only to find he was out on Sunday...but kindly, he agreed to let us come over that evening, so the pressure cooker was yanked off the stove and we all piled into the car.

We got:

A Goldline called Goldie

A Speckledy called Nando,

A White Sussex, called Kentucky,

and

A Nera called Poppy.

(Guess which ones were named by the kids and which were named by the grown ups!)

Anyway, it looks like they are settling in well, the dogs are now leaving them alone (after a few squirts of the water pistol), but no eggs yet!!
