Hello!

[M series]

I have one oldish ISA Brown, 2 Hylines and a Barnevelder. The oldest, Lydia is the survivor of the Bennett sisters ( J Austen) after fox in 2011, bless her. Had her since a chick. still very dominant, despite odd bouts of generally looking on last legs. Always rallies. The M series are the Hylines and they are very friendly - follow me around and call out if I'm around. Funny girls. Lucinda the Barnevelder is very wary and very hard to catch - and very LOUD when she is. She has just gone through moult, looked terrible, but better now.

We have secured their area against foxes and allow the dog into their area as deterrent. He has got very used to them and rounds them up in the evening, when they are out in main garden. I have had to put rain cover over their food, so he can't help himself!

They have a hen house in an enclosure, within a fruit tree area. (Have had to protect roots)
Will try to post pictures..

You've got some excellent layers there and should get loads of eggs from them. )
