New Silkies - the Buffs and Duchess

Four new buff silkies have come to join the team.

They are Viscountess (aka Vicki),

Empress (aka Emma),

Beatrix

and Eugenie (at the back, Peanut in the front).

Also recently arrived is Duchess, a lovely mahogany hen who was very haughty when she first arrived, but is now skirting about the edges, could be wrong but I think one of the farm chooks (Isa Brown x Australorp) has given her a dressing down, I'm sure she'll be back in good form before long, cant keep a good chook down!!  The new silkie pen is under construction, and once the move to the kangaroo paddock is complete the silkies will be much happier.  Kiwi and Peanut are enjoying their new environment, and not daunted by the big chooks!!

The dogs sometimes struggle with the whole 'free range' concept, and like the chooks to stay in their pen!!  Luckily everybody has to sleep sometimes ;-D

Deano and Emma

 The farm chooks, big girls and very good layers.
