I just adore these little hens: their feathers look like fur and they’re so cute and lively. They belong to a friend of mine,  just 15 minutes drive away.  Maybe I’ll get some later in the year.   I’ve always had hens (before moving to Saudi Arabia), but never any as gorgeous as these!  I wonder what sort of eggs they lay?  Peter can build me a run to protect them from the foxes, I’m sure, and we already have an outbuilding the previous owners used to raise chicks.
