    Or I could keep Beryl and change Ethyl to Enid, Edna, Evelyn... decisions, decisions
    My vote is for Bridget :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I can't have a Bridget as my friend's daughter is called Bridget

    One day I'll have Ada, Gertrude, Grace and Gwen but not whilst my relatives are still alive - so hopefully many years from now

    Two skylines and a rhode star - they are sooooo beautiful :D I'll upload some photos this evening. The skylines are ginger/grey mottled and fingers crossed will lay blue eggs (80% chance but their ear lobes look promising). The rhode star is the typical little red hen but has a couple of black tail feathers as well and will lay up to 320 eggs/year. Not entirely sure what colour - supermarket colour I would imagine - I'll have to wait a few weeks to find out :D

    The new girls are settling in well, the old girls have had a bit of a peck but nothing nasty.

    Oh and as this is a money forum... they cost £51.50

    Ok, am getting in touch with Helen to get some stick insects. Am sure their biology is simpler :D.

    Aw, I like little red hen. I will be calling her LRH :)

    Lovely bright, shiny new chooks.

    One day I will have Brahmas again!
