I have posted a short(ish) account of how we came to have five beautiful hens (and a few others) due to the generosity of a forum member and his wife. It is on the blog site. Please read it, it's got pictures and everything.

Thank you.

Nice birds Mrs Eq - you have really done well since arriving here only a short time ago. We would liked to have sorted out our coup and started with some chickens this year, but time is pressing and I have some much more to do before the cold weather arrives.
