Meet our chickens!

30th March 2016

Alec Cocker (owner of Cockers Roses) and Finlay's Dad has very kindly provided us with a chicken coup and three chickens from his farm. We have one (very loud) cockerel and two chickens. These are Barbu D'Anver Bantams which are one of the smallest breeds of chicken and very friendly and easy to look after. Leanne (Finlay's mum) is also incubating some eggs for us so that hopefully we will be able to rear our own chicks. Very exciting!
