Update for November 2010

Here are a couple of pictures of our hens, aka "the fans", aka "the molusc disposal posse".  Most of them you see are Cuckoo Marans.  Our friends clocker hatched a clutch of eggs for us this summer, so far 5/5 seem to be cockerels. We'll know for sure when they start to crow.

The girl in the middle here is one of last years chicks, she is now definately "Queen "of the run.

The Chinese lanterns that look so none descript for so much  of the year are now showing in all their glory.

Chinese Lanterns

These are pretty non-descript when in growth; vaguely similar to a small potato plant. In the autumn however, and especially with the light behind them, its a different matter. Will both self seed and run underground once established.
