My sister has called one of her bantams Tandoori ----- rather unfeeling! :-D Another is Ivy, after a lady on the checkout at their local Asda who invariably c0cks her head to one side and asks on a strange tone "Do you want that in a b-a-a-a-a-a-g", just like the chick going cluck! :roll: The third is Millie and the fourth I always forget :?

Rose Tuft works out like Tandoori if you say it quickly - roast stuffed chicken!

That's a great chicken house...no lunch for Mr. Fox! Poor Bluebell looks so tired after supervising all day... :-D Name suggestions: Matilda, Penny, Chloe, Henrietta. I had a pet chicken named Henry when I was a child. Oh, all those lovely fresh eggs!! At what age will they start laying?

[Kim]

Great chicken house, definitely fox proof I would say!! Hope you have lots of lovely fresh eggs.

That is the fort Know or Bank Of England of chicken houses - hubby is planning on winnig the battle of the chicken coup then. :) I see Bluebell is not far from her masters feet ;)
