We picked up our new chicks from The Neighbour Gnomes on Saturday afternoon. Popeye had been breeding them the last few months. He worked on a Rhode Island / Isa Brown cross.
Here they are now (enjoying a venison shank bone). They are a few weeks from laying eggs.
We have partitioned the chook shed for the time being. So that the new ones will stay on the right hand side for a few days until they have settled in. Once they are free-ranging as well, we will take the partition down again and they can all mingle freely.

sweet! good one neighbour gnomes!
Nice one gnomes. I love chooks! They are the best animals to keep whether it be for eggs or meat.

Oh! I admire you! I wish we could have chickens here...sigh. Maybe I can sneak a few in...
They're a lovely russet colour, was that the beginnings of a crow I heard at the end of the clip? Maybe one is a rooster!!!
