they're a great looking bunch. To break the streak try picking her up for a couple of minutes every time she gets a bit much. Worked for me especially around treat time when she could see all the others getting their's and she's being held!

They're gorgeous Jim,particularly your Lemon Sable.

Do the 'old' girls have names too?

Thanks for the link to Hennie4Pennies btw

Oh no! Hope they haven't all got nasty streak,jimred I thought they were easy going hens.That's what I'd like to add to my little flock next year.

You're ok lettuce, my Wellies are as soft as anything Mind you, they're ones I've raised from eggs so I'm the only human they've really had any contact with

Out of 4 Wellies hatched, the only girl is the easiest to handle. The boys have very long legs and boy can they run! Doesn't help that their mummy told them I was the big bad wolf.
Lovely hens Jim.
