Had to look them up - what colour are the hens?
They range from a dark brown- light brown, most have light petal shaped feathers on their necks. We got them from a breeder based at Chelmsford and he only deals mainly with the brown range. Nice man, and we have had hens from him before, no problems.Margaid said:Had to look them up - what colour are the hens?

Down here in the Hampshire tropics I feel for the girls wearing their feather duvets in this blistering heat (29C yesterday) although their run has shade in places all day and gets full shade from big trees by 2.30. Poppy gets hot with her thick coat as well, but at least she camps out under the bed when we retire to the bedroom and switch on the air conditioner. This is guilt-free as the solar panels are working overtime on generating units and also turning our very old electricity meter backwards as they do so. I look at the weather forecast for the northern islands with much envy at the moment.

Lucky you! Though I’ve been digging my lightweight dresses and tops out of hibernation!dianefairhall said:Still in woolies here, too.
Well, our lovely Sussex, Skye, died just after I posted last so we just have Bluebell Izzie now. She is to receive three new friends tomorrow, a cream legbar, a cheshire blue and a white leghorn. Note no Oxford comma! I'll post some pics when I get some.Please keep us posted!
