October

Fantastic news!!!! we had our 1st blue egg laid by one of our araucana girls on Tuesday (and a 2nd yesterday)!! it is perfect and we are fighting over who gets to eat it, of course i am going to eat it as im the one trudging up the garden in my dressing gown and pink wellies every morning!



We are also down to our last 6 girls that are looking for new homes. 2 beautiful little brahma bantams 2 light sussex, a very pretty double laced barnevelder bantam and our last big girl the buff orpington, who is now POL, Bokky is still looking after her chicks even though they are 10 weeks old now, she hasnt had enough yet. My pretty little laced wyandottes cynthia and Dotty as well as my LF welsummer 'Summer', pheasant fowl 'Dixie' and my little banty salmon faverolle 'Foxy' are all POL too now so fingers crossed we will be getting lots more eggs before Christmas.

Some other news is Violet is actually a Victor!!?? so we have 2 very handsome cayuga boys wandering around the garden (Vic and Bob) will try and get them a girlie each next year perhaps?
