They are here!!

We got our three hens today & I can't believe how quickly they seem to have settled in.

They are ex-battery & two of them do look quite ropey

When we got them home we put them straight in their house with access to their run but didn't expect them to venture out for a while. About 10mins later though one had already been brave enough to come out & was pecking around on the ground.

Another 10mins later the other two followed her & have all been outside explroing their new home!

The dogs are VERY interested in the new arrivals but have been quite good so far - lots of treats has worked wonders so far.

Here are some pics of them, as I have no ability to take a good photo they are a bit rubbish uinfortunately!

I hope they like their new home, my OH spent ages making it for them.

They don't seem too fazed by everything that's gone on which i'm quite suprised about.

Just hope the dogs are as good with them tomorrow

Oooo fun! I'm desperate for some but i don't trust the area I live and it's rented.

They look so happy

Congratulations (I've never congratulated someone on a chicken before )
