We went chicken window shopping this morning. I'm planning to replace Miss MWC with 3 new chooks (that's how chicken math works!) - another white star, a speckledy and a bluebell
We were hoping to see the Lancaster bombers fly past this afternoon but is was cancelled due to the weather Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

So sorry to hear about Miss MWC I used to have chickens but unfortunately haven't got any anymore. I used to have a bluebell a big grey girl she was I called her Bunty. I also had 3 other breeds each My teenager and I called Babs, Peggy and Penny. I do miss them I now have 2 lopped eared rabbits which cause just as much damage/ mayhem in the garden.2026 Decluttering 9958⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oooohhh, I like Bunty :T
So do I... my first chook was named Bunty!!!
My previous bluebell was called Agnes - a beautiful chicken, bit rubbish when it came to laying eggs though! Hopefully the new one will be both a supermodel and a star layer *fingers crossed*Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Miss MWC did that
Announced to the world that she was going to lay a beautiful white egg and then announced to the world that she had laid a beautiful white egg... usually whilst the neighbours were still in bed :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
