Our new arrivals, in the form of 11 new fit and healthy hens, who were kindly donated by a local farmer, will hopefully provide lots of tasty eggs for breakfast as they settle into their new home at the farm! They arrived over the weekend and have been making themselves at home in the "brick building" which is where our ex-battery hens had been living up until we moved them into the main hen hut in preparation for the arrival of the new ones.
The hens are a mixture of breeds and are huge in comparison to our current ones which is nice! They are fit and healthy and are eating like mad. We will be keeping them inside for a few days whilst they acclimatise to their new home and then we will be letting them out to mix with the other hens where the "pecking order" shall be decided! Here are some pics I took this morning before work:

Thanks Dan for taking the photos so that we can see the new arrivals. They do look a very healthy group and we hope to see them venturing out, eventually, into the field.
