new girls

went to buy a bale of woodshavings for bedding for assorted poultry and came home with 2 black hens in addition. Well they were returned by a previous buyer who can't keep them any more because of relationship trauma (hers not theirs!) and they looked so sad... They are black old cotswold legbars so we should get blue or white eggs when they get over the rejection and the move (in a very small box for 4 miles). Now they're in a pen waiting till they acclimatise and get set free to roam.
