Picked up two cream legbar chicks today!!!! They are sooo sweet, pretty big seeing as though they are 4weeks old but they no longer require the heat lamp, so they came home with us (legbars are autosexing so you can tell their gender from birth because of a difference in feathers).
Hoping that we can handle them enough that they really become pets, and I can't wait to see what colour their eggs are!
We should be going back in a month to pick up some silkies which are supposed to be really child friend, and well silky lol!

Waffle
I was entrusted with taking care of my cousins chooks whilst she is away in France.
I went to check on them today and they were dead. I'm guessing a fox got them :( This is the second lot that have been had off by a fox and these weren't even in lay.
I'm so glad the kids didn't see as I reached the coop before they did Alhamdulilah they were accepting of us just going away, normally they would kick up a stink.
I had to phone my aunt and she's going to do the clean up. I'm not looking forward to seeing my cousin and hubby. I feel awful for them.
