Meet the Flock

This is Groovy, Dino’s hen. She has lovely red and white markings on her back and an inquisitive nature. She’s often the first to the wire to see if we’ve brought them anything nice to eat!

 

On the left is Rainbow, Mimi’s hen - a bit paler overall, fairly chilled and lays the smallest eggs of the three. On the right is Red (nominally mine to make it fair). Red is darker, less confident than the others and a fair bit shorter - she lays the darkest shelled eggs.

Red likes to hide in the nest box when the big outdoors gets a bit much and Rainbow doesn’t like going to bed! Yet, she’ll learn…. 

Three more eggs again today.
