Well guys - We took the lads to their new home. They were supposed to go yesterday but it didn;t work out so we took them today!
The fellow who wanted them is someone we already knew. He was waiting for the birds to arrive and was really happy with them. 
He took us down to show us where they would live. - 
There were several big pens all linked together in a big pasture. The fence round it was really high so nothing can get in to them. He put Blue and Omlet in a pen in the middle and they had another hen in there with them but they didn;t bother with her. A little Banty in the next pen started to face up to Blue but other then that no bother. 
The lads just started to explore and eat. It is a beautiful place on top of a hill with loads of green fields around it. There is also a goat to keep them company. 
The fellow there is also creating a large pond for Ducks and has ideas to mke a petting zoo type thing with all sorts of Birds. So he doesn;t mind if Omlet is a boy or a girl.
That means the lads will be together forever!!!!!!!! In a safe place and will never be for meat but for chicks. 
We were also told that if he gets chicks from breeding Blue he is going to let us have a hen from the match. So I could very well still get my Olive Egger????
Also the other two boys Duck and Big Red are settling in well at Hope cottage on the edge of the village. That means that if we ever wanted to "borrow" Red back to put to Bertha for more Red speckled sussex we can. So everyone is alive and happy and settling into new homes. I am so happy because the other option was killing them and that would have been such a wast of 4 lovely birds! 
We went to the store after to shop and I picked up two chickens for £7 - I thought to myself I AM SO GLAD I DIDN:T HAVE TO KILL MY LADS!!!!!!! They are worth far more than a good meal!!!!!!! Now they can give pleasure for many years to come and be safe!!!!!!
