We picked up 12 yellow, fluffy, peeping chicks today from a kind friend at Welsh Hill Farm
http://www.welshhill.com. They are completely adorable. I fear I will never be allowed to eat them. The kids have made a pact already.
They have names. A bit premature as we don't really know if they are hens or cocks yet, but here they are: Denis, Eggbert, Wally, Essy (the second?), Flash, Dash, Steve, Mike and Spike and more to come.
They remind me of the children's book, Alvah and Arvilla: "The hens, being plural by nature...."
