finally! we have our chickens :) after a long wait, we picked them up on saturday. we opted to re-home some ex-battery hens, give them a new life and a loving home {unless they are re-homed they send the chickens they no longer want to slaughter}. six girls are settling into their new home, they're all a little bald but a couple of weeks and they'll be lovely and feathery again. they seem happy in the house that my mr built in the summer. we have a temporary run for them, while they adjust to their new found freedom - once they've settled in they will have the run of our woods.
the kiddos are super excited - they've spent a lot of time watching them all, and seem to know which is which, something i've yet to master. their names are: belinda, betty, lily, jezebel, junebug and ju ju bee :) we've had four eggs already. the cats are still a little unsure as what to make of these newcomers.
we're slowly turning into a petting zoo - three cats, three guinea pigs and now six chickens..... i'm thinking ducks or a goat next :p
spare us a vote??
