chicken naming ceremony
today karen announced the most popular names as voted by the staff and residents; the six names chosen are as follows:Karen - the 'bossy' hen - she seems to keep the hens in order and pecks them if they dont do as they are told!
henrietta - who has the most red feathers
BBQ - has mostly black feathers
Sybil - has a cocky quiff
mildred - has no quiff and ethel - who has a bald bottom!
pictured here are five of the black rock hens - one is hiding or maybe laying an egg!
