    well when i went to pick up the eggs (of which she was one) there were only booted bantams in there so im thinking now that one of their aurcanas snook in with them. Its not exactly the breed i wanted but no one can deny that shes a cutie pie :) Thanks :)

    Our cockerel doesnt seem very happy to see the new chicks - they are currently in a run with their mum so that the chickens can get used to haveing her back with her new additions to the family.
