Introducing the Girls!

Isobel and Ines moved in to the chook tractor two weeks ago. Ines is the more haughty of the two girls and has the dark red mane and lighter body.




Both of the girls are a French breed called Isa Browns and are said to be good layers. There have not been any eggs yet but the girls are only just twenty weeks old and should lay within the next month.



They have shown a clear preference for cobs of corn, rocket and lettuce but do not care much for basil. They are very inquisitive and friendly. They don't seem to mind Oliver and William checking their nesting boxes several times each day in search of eggs. We hope to get a couple more chooks to join them in the next few weeks.
