Anne hanging out with her brood. She’s settled down on the chair because we don’t have a cover for the wider run yet and we’re afraid of the hawks. The local newspapers are warning that there are an unusual number of hawk attacks on cats, dogs and other urban pets this year. Taste just like chicken!

Compare these photos with our September 2 and 18 posts. They sure grow fast on the healthy diet Anne has carefully researched for them. We should know within a couple of weeks if any roosters snuck into the flock. The hens should start laying around January (brrrrr ….).
