Bianca's first egg

Bianca is 23 weeks old and joined us, and our other 6 chickens, 5 weeks ago along with her friend Imogen.

Today, Bianca laid her very first egg. It was easy to tell that it was hers, because it was tiny, and bright white. We knew she would lay a white egg because she is a White Star chicken.

There it is, along with her friends' eggs. Not Imogen's, we're still waiting for her first egg.
Strange thing was, when I went into the run this afternoon, Bianca, who is normally very shy and runs away as soon as you go anywhere near her, hunched up her shoulders and sat waiting for a cuddle. So she got lots of fuss and cuddles. Obviously very proud of herself. Clever girl.

And it was delicious. Thankyou, Bianca. 

Feed the chickens

This is a fab chicken cam, with goats and ducks too.
The best bit is feeding the chickens, you really can! Looks like they run out of food periodically though. Or I fed it all to them in one go!!!

Permanent Chicken Cam

I've just posted a permanent link to the live chicken cam (top right of this blog)

Yesterday, the baby girls went in with the big girls. Everything seems to be going quite smoothly at the moment. The little girls are keeping their distance, sensibly.
FYI, Bianca is the pure white chicken, Imogen the toffee coloured one. You can see that they are quite a bit smaller than the big girls.

Our chickens

NB If it is black when you look, it's because it's night time here. Remember, our chickens are English ladies. If you view during the evening, you might see them sitting on their perches ready for bed. If you view during the day, the camera switches to an outside view where you might see a chicken perched happily, or eating a yummy meal.
