The chickens have landed

So, finally, after many years of dreaming the hens are here!
I have always wanted hens for eggs and possibly meat and one of my conditions of moving house (in April) was that I could get my chooks! So I got the house and run in the summer and last weekend got the hens. They are 3 twelve week old pullets - 8 weeks away from laying but that gives them time to settle in and get used to the kids peering in at them!
So the smallholding dream is now one step closer......
