New Arrivals

Three new members of the menagerie today:

The black ones are New Hampshire Australorp crosses, and the other is a commercial brown chook. They are only 10 weeks old, so it will be a while before they are up to laying eggs. But because everyone has gone chook crazy under lockdown, it is hard to get the normal "point of lay" pullets. These ones make cute baby chicken noises rather than grown-up clucks. At bedtime tonight they snuggled up to the larger chooks to keep warm.
