How old is Ha'penny now?

How old is Ha'penny now?

She's 7, nearly 8.

She's 7, nearly 8.

I win having 3 that are even older.
Ini mini 10 , Black and Pearl 9. I can see Ini mini and Black Pearl are at age. Pearl still looks like a fresh peach.

CATURDAY.
Ash is pretty much the same colour as the lounge...​

Leonard has arrived.
We're not entirely sure what breed/s but he is a bantam & has some frizzle.​

The girls are interested but Ha'penny is crowing... ​

lol Lots of people have chickens older than my Ha'penny, but she is my oldest.​

Along with Leonard came a dozen eggs, hopefully fertile...
not sure that any will survive this trio.
I will go into town shortly & get another cage & put the 2 little ones in it & they can have a couple of eggs each.​

No~one messes with Wrold.
She has a nest box all to herself & the layers aren't game to try & kick her out either. I put the remaining 6 eggs under her. She is covering them nicely & is a fierce defender of her nest.​

Handsome fella!

Handsome fella!

He's very pretty ~ & according to his last owner a total gentleman with his ladies. He was raised by mature hens & has been free ranging. Bit skittish round me, naturally
