My five new pullets, three Bluebelle and two Speckledy, taking shelter on a wet and windy Christmas day.

Or maybe they are saying, "quick girls, hide behind here, do you see what he had done to that Turkey" :wink: :)

Sorry TTS

They've already got names. The Speckledies are Mrs Jones and Mrs Williams, and the Bluebelles are Dwynwen, Gwenfrewi and Melangell.

Yes I know what you mean Diane , I use to keep chickens for years and they were part of the family , the cat would sleep in the nesting boxes and the dog and cock use to chase each other around the garden in a friendly and very funny manner , it was normal on a hot day to see them crashed out in the shade together . The girls use to come and sit in green house with me while I worked or helped to dig over the veg beds . I do miss having them, but I travel to much now and it wouldnt be fair to keep any at the moment . :(
