*** SURPRISE NEWCOMER ***

It´s been a hard year for us hen´s so far.........with a great loss of some of our fellow housemates,following a period of respiratory infections and a hard annual moult.
Sadly,the combination of both,has claimed the live´s of alot of the older girl´s and it´s just us hardy bunch left now.....hopefully the worst is now over,finally.

But last night,our mum had an unexepected newcomer turn up at the front door in a cat basket,in a form of a Light Sussex cross hen.
Apparently,she had to be rehomed as she was bullying other hen´s in her old hen house,so mum said that she would take her on and that any naughtiness,us lot would soon put her in her place,but she seem´s to have settled in ok and adjusted to the fact that a pecking order,exists ONLY if you misbehave,otherwise we are all a friendly bunch and have no time for trouble makers.

Let´s just hope that she rewards mum with some lovely eggs,as us lot are still very slack on that front due to the recent problems,but we will come back to form as soon as we can and as soon as we have some warmer weather and sunnier days.
