hello sis! will do
they are about the size and weight of a ping pong ball (I was going to say a quail's egg but that is fairly obvious )
except most of that size is fluff. and they have sort of tiger stripes down their back. ahhhh

My god I am so out of touch I was still waiting for the hen pictures (just saw, laverly!)

! Marvellous stuff! Can't wait to see them. So it sounds like you will get a high percentage of hatchers? Yippee!

My new coop has finally arrived so it'll be bald-backed hen and china eggs in tomorrow. If she's not sitting by the end of the week I'll order an R-Com!

Oh that is fab! They must be so wee.

Lulu's are due tomorrow, I am off out for chick crumbs if my mother ever arrives.
