Lovely girls - eggs galore very soon! I keep my girls on the allotment too so I know how worrying it can be!

Beautiful girlies - lucky you! That grey one (is she a bluebelle?) is really lovely, fabulous colour.

We've got three Light Sussex eggs in our incy, hopefully one of them will be a girlie so I can keep her!

I was thinking that myself, she is absolutely gorgeous.
Don't think I could get one witthout the hubby finding out tho, she'd stand out like a sore thumb.

I could always spray all the girl's purple, it may take a while for him to notice then... by which time it would be too late and he would of become attached.

Ok, I need to stop thinking these things, it's not good

What a lovely combination of colours!
( I too rather like the grey one!)...what's she called?

Aren't they gorgeous. You do get a bit obsessed with foxes though. My garden is like Fort Knox!

Flum - Just to say I think your blogs are great (both the chook and veg). Have only really just caught up with them and am really impressed with your pics. And I'm jealous of you having your first potatoes as we haven't managed to plant any this year

Thanks! I keep them for a record really - I looked back this April to see when I'd got peas flowering last year - the seasons differ so much. I do love my new potatoes though!
