The girls have arrived and have settled in well. Mickey has been up and inspected them and decided they are no threat so left them alone. They are Black Rocks and apparently are good layers, I suppose we will soon find out. They stayed in the coop most of the day and then got brave and had a little excursion around their new environment. So here they are...
Six little ladies all settled in their new home. We have a lot to learn but it is an adventure we are excited about. I am a little behind replying to your comments but will be in touch as soon as I can.
See you soon.
They are beautiful! You are going to love these "six little ladies." I would love to have some just like these!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you, they are gorgeous, I shall look forward to hearing more about them.
ReplyDeleteI really miss having hens. We had rescued from battery hens and it was lovely to see them grow their feathers and be totally free range. Very friendly and helped in the garden! And loads of lovely bright yellow yolk eggs.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! I love fresh eggs! Your new girls are beautiful and I’m sure you will enjoy having them. I’m looking forward to reading all about your new adventure with them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
This is going to be fun watching your little ladies settle in. Just think of all the extra cakes you will need to make. Can I offer myself as cake tester.. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour girls are beautiful! I can't wait to have some of my own one day. Stay safe in the storm!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! My mum's grandparents had a farm and Mum spent a lot of her childhood there. We grow veg as you know, but I'm not sure that we'd be any good with livestock. I'm looking forward to following your new chicken adventure :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is exciting indeed! Such pretty inquisitive sweet girls! You will have so much fun with them, but indeed, there is so much to learn with chickens. They provide never ending entertainment, for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely hens you have. I hope it's not long before they start laying. xx Susan
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have hens of your own! I imagine you will have delicious fresh eggs to enjoy soon. Glad to hear Mickey doesn't mind. ♥
ReplyDeleteExciting! You're going to have a great time with them.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely ladies are going to love their new environment. I remember how excited our hens would get when I'd bring out the veg. scraps for them.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that the ferry came and had your lovely ladies on board. I see lots of eggs in your future :)
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be an exciting time for you all as well as the ladies settling in a new place. I am sure they are going the love their new home and lay plenty of eggs for you.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a nice activity to read about and follow. For some reason I really enjoy reading about my blogger's chicken adventures.
ReplyDeleteBravo on welcoming your new hens! I didn't see any windows in the hen house - they need light to encourage laying eggs. I hope there is some light and some ventilation for them. Have fun with them! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteI miss having hens! They all start out as one anonymous little group, but soon become definite personalities and are easily distinguishable. I buy our eggs from a neighbour now, they are good, but not nearly as good as the ones our own girls used to lay.
ReplyDeleteYou have six beauties there. Lucky girls, they will have a great life with you.
I wonder when they will each get names? Looking forward to hearing about their personalities - and their developing relationship with Micky. Good that he sounds to be OK with them - that must be helpful.
ReplyDelete6 girls ! I hope you can make a lot of scrambled eggs !
ReplyDeletePretty little chickens.
ReplyDeleteI hope they give you lots of eggs.
Hugs-x-
Hello, ladies! What a nice new home. I'm sure they will thank you with the most wonderful-tasting breakfasts ever.
ReplyDeleteWith six new babes in the house, I don’t expect to see you for some time. Happy times!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! I hope they start laying for you soon.
ReplyDeleteYour little ladies are lovely. I hope they settle in and start producing eggs for baking soon:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much of stopping by and for your kind comments!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
How lovely they look. I hope they reward you with lots of eggs. I have a dozen eggs in my fridge from my daughter's urban chickens.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, a new adventure. I'm sure you'll have lots of tales to tell about them. I'm glad that Mickey approves.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! Good luck with the ladies.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet the Girls and hope you have lots of success and fresh eggs!
ReplyDeleteOh we LOVE chickens! We had small flock when we lived in South Africa and fell in love with how quirky they are. Despite popular belief, we found them to be very intelligent birds. We hope to have a small flock again next year.
ReplyDeleteYour little ladies are lovely. I hope they settle in and start producing eggs for baking soon:)

I love the little sounds the hens make as they go scratching around the yard.
