Went to collect our new hens yesterday, I'm pleased to introduce Agnes, Betty, Coraline and Demelza! 4 light Sussex hens at point of lay, should start producing eggs when they have settled in hopefully. They didnt want to come out of their house this morning but with a bit of encouragement Agnes went down the ramp first and then the others followed and since then they have been exploring their enclosure and eating bits and bobs and sorting out their pecking order. Lovely to see them preening in the sun when it finally stopped raining! Hard to tell them apart at the moment but I'm sure I will work out some distinguishing features before long, Agnes has a redder head so she is easy, and Demelza is very pale, the other 2 look the same. Really pleased with them and looking foward to some eggs appearing, hopefully before too long!
