Chicken Envy

Can I be envious of Hens???
Why, yes I bloody well can, especially when they're living in deepest, darkest, West-est Cornwall!!!!
Harriet, Ruby, Nigella and the new chicks have finally made it to Cornwall and their new life with the God Children.


Around 5 years ago John decided that we would have hens.
And hens we got!
The original flock consisted of Harriet, Lottie, Cybil, Margot and Ruby.
Lottie died.
Cybil and Margot went to Bedfordshire to live as they were WAY too loud!
We replaced them with Tallulah and Nigella.
Sadly, Tallulah died in the last couple of months.
Apparently, the new chicks include 'Ginger' and 'Lily-Rose'......I await, with anticipation, the name of the last chick *eek*


John had a blog, Hens In The City which he updated with the goings on of the Girls in our South East London garden (http://hensinthecity.blogspot.co.uk).
Obviously, that blog has stopped but the Hens go on and they now begin their new and better life in Cornwall.


So....Harriet, Ruby, Nigella, Ginger, Lily-Rose and 'No Name' have a wonderful new life and, to be honest, I couldn't be more pleased for the God Children or more envious of the hens!
