Birthday girl No 2, not such a good pic, but here nonetheless! She is also a Light Sussex cross, I think with Black Rock, but not 100% certain. Anyway, she's a big girl, and I'm hoping for many eggs coming soon!

Birthday chicken No.1 posing for me on Saturday afternoon. She's a stunnah! Gertie is quite small, but she's only a young one - it'll be a while before she starts to lay, I think. She's a Light Sussex cross with Rhode Island Red, so hopefully will be a consistent layer. This is the same breed as my very first chicken (Megg) who laid an egg for us every day from the time she came into lay, until the day she died. I have great hopes .....

Bluebell, Millie, and Mavis (They're chickens, you know)

I don't know what they're looking for, but they're giving it their full attention!
