Expanding the flock

We've always wanted four chickens and waited for the weather to improve a little. Hoping to have a more friendly flock we thought we would go for some growers so we can get them used to us. 

I've had my eye on a Chalkhill Blue and Chestnut Brown since deciding to keep hens and as the Browns are larger ladies that why we opted for the larger Eglu cube. I spoke to my normal supplier and he was expecting some Blues but sold out of Browns. So I looked into getting them direct from his supplier as these were our last additions for a while but it was a four hour drive!

I read about a trio on the suppliers website. It had both of my wish list girls along with a Chalkhill Pearl. All of these girls would lay different color eggs and as hybrids would lay nearly daily. This appealed as Sage our Bluebell was the only one laying. I called to find out more and when hubby got home from a night out with the boys he said "let's go for it".

So I confirmed his agreement next morning when he was sober with "so we"ll go collect them next weekend". We (he) got the old coop ready for our new girls and we set off on a family road trip!
