Chickens!

Which came first?
The chickens.  Obviously.  But before them, came the coop.

This is in the orchard (I'm hoping there aren't any foxes reading this...)
The chickens came from Highfield Happy Hens.

They were transported in potato boxes in the back of the car...

With veg trays for lids.  Apparently that's luxury compared to what some people take them home in.  I thought it was nice to set the bar high :)
They were then released into the coop...

They had a little potter around and seem to be happy with their new accommodation.  They arrived last Thursday, and we've so far had four eggs from them.  I expect production will pick up the more settled they get.

Big boy is so far the only one to have sampled them, but I intend to try one out soon!  Still don't really know what we're doing in terms of how to look after the chickens, and am hoping that our ignorance doesn't kill them off...
