The Poultry Hilton Snow White - flighty blond - not too keen on people, small white eggs. Speckles - shy, but doesn't freak out like dizzy blond above - small brown eggs. Heckle and Jeckyl (interchangable names)- battery girls, enjoying rehabilitation immensely. Didn't get a photo of the 3rd one, Hoppy, who was a bit lame as the other 2 were keeping her bailed up in the shed. THings have improved now her leg seems to have come good. Heck/Jeck - this girl appealed to me at the egg farm - stuck her neck right out of the cage and really looked curiously at us. Ascended to head of the pecking order, fearless around people, I reckon she would follow me anywhere! First waiting at the gate when I arrive. The broodies - will get off the nest pics soon: Big Black Chook - very placid - our "olive egger" Little Black Bantam - very sweet but very neurotic now she's broody. Tolerates cuddles well. Can't remember what kind of eggs she lays because she's been flippin' broody for SO LONG!!!!

Fantastic intro for your girls, and poultry Hilton is great, love the idea of the extra patio roof above the actual shed
