Picture thread of my hens!

hay johnn what kind of sheep are those and what do you use them for..do u shear..all ur pics always a pleasure to look at ..thanks for sharing ..

Hi, They are swale dale tups. They aren't mine, they are the farmers who rents the field from my uncle He used them for breeding purposes as far as I'm aware

Bella is a wonderful chicken model. Great shot of her with the sheep as well as her on the hill posted before. I hope her limp is improving.

Thank you!, Yes, her limp appears to have gone!

John your Bella is stunning! Is she a hatchery or a breeder bird? Also, are you in the states or elsewhere?

Thank you! She's not a hatchery, funny story is I actually stole her (kind of)! I found these buff orp hens at a primary school and they were being neglected so I started giving them food and water and Bella's mother went broody, so I took an egg and give it to her and out came Bella!
