Can you post pics of them?They've arrived and I don't think they're RIRs. They're too small and the wrong colour. I think they're little red hybrid laying hens of some description. Probably ISA Browns. Very tame and very sweet.
They're sleeping on a log I brought in to the laundry and there's water and food nearby. Tomorrow I'll get sawdust or straw to cover the concrete floor and give them something to lay eggs in.
If these two hens turn out to be OK with my existing gang I may keep them.
But they'll be living in the laundry for a few weeks and I'll just have to do the best I can with respect to quarantine.
I said to my Aunty, "I'm just putting this on the table: no more hens, ok?" but I'm happy to help these two little ones whose home is going to be flooded very soon.
