Two White Stars that will lay white eggs, and three brown hybrids (can't for the life of me remember what the farm called them). So, in a few weeks time that'll be around 30 eggs a week (usually count on 6 a week from each hen).
They seem quite settled in the chicken shed. Only two of them chose to venture outside in the run though. Not surprising since the White Stars have been raised in a barn and have never even seen outside. Hoping tomorrow, once they see the brown ones go out again, they'll get braver.
Had to clip their wings as well today. Good excuse to handle them. They can be very cute when you're holding them.
Hope Freddie Fox keeps away.
