Barnevelders

Three small Barnevelder hens have moved in!

They came from a local breeder of rare chickens, Heidi Allison in Meredith.

I was looking for some hens to give me eggs, be a "chook tractor", and provide me with straw and chook manure to help improve the Buninyong Garden's soil.

They will lay brown eggs (in a few mothhs!).

Two things to do - either get them to ripen up, or find a good recipe for Green Tomato Pickle!
