Chickens 3,4,5 and 6 arrived, with two eggs layed en route. There was a big kafuffle for the first 48 hours and now the pecking order is firmly entrenched. The two barred rock chicks stick pretty close together, while the four highlanders are independent roamers.
Our youngest farmer has taken to collecting eggs each day - 4 pretty much guaranteed. We are eagerly anticipating the first eggs from our "chicks". The eggs are rich in colour and flavour - we are enjoying and sharing our special treats!
The birds are all enjoying our early fall warmth, happily following whoever around, particularly if you happen to be digging in the garden where a fresh worm might just pop up!
