New girls in the coup

Today we obtained four more chickens to add to the four we already have. Dame Edna.. who quite happily ruled the roost and bossed every one around is a bit taken aback by these new intruders to her realm.. One of the new girls is a little on the bossy side and the hen pecking begun moments after the new girls moved in. Power has now been divided.. I am sure they will all get use to each other soon.. and maybe a new queen will reign.. LOL

We have been warned that the white one COULD be a rooster.. so I guess I will wait until I am rudely awakened one morning to see if this is true.

So here they are...

the original girls...



.

and the new girls... can you guess which ones Emma named ..;)




and divided they stand...

Woo hoo.. three eggs this morning.. I guess that means they approve of their new home ;)



The yummy chocolate biscuits I posted here. I cooked another batch today and hid half of them from the kids.. just to make them last longer.. lol

Bock bock bock

Meet out new additions. We decided we eat enough eggs in this house to warrant investing in some chooks (chickens for the international set..) They seemed to have settled in well and were last seen huddled together on their roost.

Of course we have picked names.. well names for three.. no.4 chook seems a bit shy so we haven't though up something for her yet.. lol
Meet...

Dame Edna.. she's crossed with a Polish Bantam.... she's the fancy one..lol



This is Sally, for no other reason than she looked like a Sally.. apologies to any Sally's out there ;)


Speckles because she has white speckles on the top of her head.. someone suggested another name because they thought it looked like she had been standing under another chook at an unfortunate moment... hmmmm...






and Anonymous because we are yet to name this one!


Getting use to their new surroundings.. hopefully they won't be too traumatized by there move and will produce us some lovely fresh eggs soon!
