Long overdue photo of chickens -- look at how big those chicks are now at 4 1/2 weeks! The Mummy hen is still looking after them and they still follow her around, but only two of them at at time can fit under her now. And it looks like they are going to be mostly black -- their genetic parents are the cockerel on the table and the hen over on the right -- who both have black in them, but not anywhere near as much as the chicks...
You will note that the title of this post is "animal update" rather than "chicken update" -- this is because we will shortly (in about six weeks) be getting another addition to the Sparrowhall family -- introducing Cookie! Isn't she just so adorable???! :)
Here she is with her Mummy and siblings...
And last but not least, totally forgot to photograph the food, but here's a selfie from my 50th birthday dinner at the Belsair... One day Danny will stop making Chandler faces when I take the camera out, but... :)
