I'm all smiley cos my new girls have just arrived! Been about a year since I lost my last flock to a fox (my own silly fault for not locking the gate securely.) And now for the first time I've got ex battery girls. Dh collected them this afternoon while I was working and i can't stop going out to look at them and get to know them. They do look a bit bedraggled, pale and, well ........battered, but i hope they will love their new home and perk up quickly.
There's five of them so I'm thinking Pride and Prejudice - Jane, Elizabeth, Lydia, Kitty - and was it 'Mary' the middle one?? Guess that makes me mrs bennett - mm.
Just waved my to dcs (aged 24 and 20) off on hols to Australia for 3 weeks this morning so my new girls are the perfect distraction to fill my empty nest!
