Caption: Climbing steps is sometimes just too slow. Much faster to hop-fly to the third or fourth step.

Caption: Audrey...White Pile Leghorn (2007-present)
She is a lovely bird laying huge pure white eggs. Her comb hasnt flopped over like it should but I prefer her like that ^_^
Caption: Eadith...Gingernut (2006-present)
My favourite girl, she used to be a the bottom end of the pecking order but since my other gingernut passed away she is now the queen of the flock.
Caption: Machine...Silver Sussex (2008-present)
Not one of my best hens, I suspect she is a hybrid sussex rather than a purebreed. She is a real feather pecker and between her and my Amberlinks, they consume EVERYTHING!
Caption: Ethel...Partridge Welsummer (2007-present)
A beautiful hen, she lays beautiful dark brown eggs and she has a very calm and kind nature.
I would definately recommend this breed!
Caption: Mrs Owl...Salmon Faverolles (2008-2009)
Mrs Owl was a worn out breeder that I got from a local hatcher. She was a beautiful bird and her personality was very gentle and loving.
If you can find them I would definately recommend Faverolles!
