Have I mentioned that I keep chickens? I keep chickens. Bantams, Partridge Pekin Bantams to be precise.
This is them when they arrived at eight weeks old last August. Scrawny little devils.
This is them grown a bit.
From left to right we have Olga, Chicken Kiev; Amelia, Chicken Nugget; and Artichoke, Chicken Dinner. Dinner is a Frizzle, which means the majority of his feathers curl backwards towards his head rather than lie flat as the girls' do. He's a really rather fine chap, with a fabulous ginger ruff and green/black wing tips.
Anyway, they're even more grown up now than they were when the picture above was taken and we reached a milestone on Thursday when Olga produced her very first egg!!
It was delicious!
She's produced a second one today equally as tasty. And Amelia, Chicken Nugget is showing signs of being ready to lay now too!
