We’ve got some new chickens. Our little flock of three was always supposed to be a starting point, from which we’d eventually expand to 10 or so over time. Well, today was the first step in that expansion.
We’ve had Barbara, Gerry and Margo for a year and a half now, so it was a bit of a shock for them when Gabrielle, chicken and chicken appeared in the coop overnight. They should have been chicken, chicken and chicken as we were determined not to give them names, but one of them has a dodgy eye, and so she immediately became Gabrielle.
Whether it’s this that makes her such a softie, I don’t know, but she is very happy being picked up and held. I even put her on my lap and she just sat there without me hanging on to her.
Anyhow, as recommended we dropped them into the coop tonight when the other chickens were in bed so they’ll all wake up together tomorrow morning.
I’ll track their progress over on my other blog, Blagger. Check it out to see how they’re getting on.
