Collected them yesterday, very very timid at the moment.
We have Bluebell, the Bluebell (going for originality on that name!), Snowdrop a White Star and Rosie, a Blacktail. They are 14 weeks old and such pretty girls.
Nutmeg was not AT ALL happy to see them, put them in their run while Nutmeg was wandering around the garden and she told me very loudly in no uncertain terms that they were not welcome. Eventually she was grounded and put back in the coop for a couple of hours. When she was allowed back out later on she came out very sheepishly (and quietly) walked round their run. Then she pretended she didnt care they were there and was scratching around right by the side of it until I saw her fluff her feathers out and knew she'd been whispering threats. Naughty chicken.
Cinnamon is a bit under the weather so she hasnt really offered her opinion on the new arrivals, I think she may have a full crop, it looked quite puffy this morning and felt squishy. She's not eaten anything out of the ordinary that I know off so will see if I can get some olive oil down her and massage it when I get home. Any other advise on that one gratefully accepted.

I've a very soft spot for Bluebelles (I've got 5 
) and when they start laying eggs, they're such a beautiful pinky-brownish colour
