Felicity Shagwell and the Mini me's

Now forgive a follow up blog about hens...... bin men and hens in one day.... f*cking hell I AM an interesting blogger am I not?!......
Anyway (he said charging on regardless) I have just spent an evening galloping around a field after some "rescue" hens instead of doing my civic duty in the Community Council Meeting at the Memorial Hall!
A young woman needed a new home for 5 light sussex hens as she was about to embark on a summer's work experience in Africa of all places, I said I could take them
Job Done!
When I arrived I could tell that she was not a real expert in animal care, and although the birds were well fed and their coop spick-and-span, she hadn't really got a clue about any birds in her charge.
She saw me looking at the large Sussex hen and the four smaller birds that were feeding around her feet and said
"It's a bit odd but the chicks haven't grown much since last year!"
I had to smile to myself
I didn't tell her that four of her hens were indeed fully grown bantams!
What did I name them?
Felicity Shagwell and the mini me's of course

  15. thank goodness you had a name to hand...almost another comp in the pipeline!!

    We were called to take 4 hens a while back.
    "dunno why they've stopped laying" said the owner "...they're such clever hens- every time the dogs get hold of them, they know just play dead..."

  16. Lucky hens. They look something like my brahmas... I think they would like having mini me's to boss around. Hope someone comes by to pick up the "stuff" soon.

  21. Welcome Felicity Shagwell and the mini mes!

    You may have missed one civic duty by skipping the council meeting, but you most certainly have met another, Mr Gray.

  22. Those are some pretty birdies! I, too, wouldn't know a bantam from a badminton bird. I'm guessing that must mean the big one and the little ones aren't related?

    Love reading your blog!
