We got three new hens this afternoon. From the left, the Partridge Cochin, who we have named Dee Dee, Speckled Sussex, named Fiona and the Easter Egger named Alice.
The Easter Egger is a hybrid breed - sort of a mutt in the chicken world. We can't show her - like we would. She's a funny little bird, full of personality. She was sold to the woman we bought her from as an Americuna, but she's not, as Americunas lay blue eggs. Hers are apparently brownish.
The two bigger birds, Dee Dee and Fiona have been picking on Wili. I guess they are establishing their pecking order. After a couple of hours they seem to have calmed down and we will have eggs..... SOON!

How rad would it be if Banna woke up and found an egg tomorrow morning? Oh boy oh boy!
No eggs today, as I think the new girls are getting settled. Wili is skittish, but Woo came in close to her and raised her left paw. As in, hang in there sister. It was so cute. Banna sez you should stay there while she's gone next week, cuz she knows you're being bugged. :)
