Let's rename this "The Hen Blog"

Some pictures of our new girls; these two are Toffee on the left and Fudge on the right. They're 1 year old Rhode Island Red x Light Sussex, already in lay (although temporarily put off by the move!)

This is Edith:

And this is Fanny:
They are both 16 week old "Hisex" pullets (a modern hybrid - don't ask) and should come into lay in the next four weeks. Fanny has a swollen eye as you may just be able to see; she got pecked hard during the establishment of the pecking order with the "old girls".

Linda named Fudge and Toffee because of their colouring. I named Fanny and Edith after the characters in "Allo Allo". Well, it still makes me laugh!
