Buffy and Bianco Turn 1


Bianco and Buffy are in the nesting boxes in the A-frame coop.
Both little hens are approximately one year old this month.
Bianco and Buffy are so small that they can fit in one nesting box together.

Bianco sits behind Buffy.
Bianco has a characteristic upright white tail when she sits down.

Two in the nest.

Bianco stands up as she starts to lay an egg.

Buffy's wing catches Bianco's body as the egg is laid.

Buffy sits on Bianco's egg whilst Bianco perches overhead.

Frenchy comes for an inspection in the A-frame coop.

Frenchy decides to leave the one year old hens alone.

Buffy likes to sit on eggs.

Buffy has a characteristic big floppy red comb.

In the Greenery

Bianco and Buffy stand in the greenery.
Bianco is a white leghorn hen and Buffy is
a buff leghorn hen from the same breeder.

Bianco walks among the greenery which she likes to eat.


Bianco's tail looks like a shark fin!

Buffy's tail also looks like a shark fin!

Buffy pokes her head out of the greenery.

Lydia loves this cute photo of Buffy's face.

Buffy stands tall in the greenery.

Buffy likes to play in the greenery and eat it too.

Buffy laid a white egg on the ground.

Buffy is sometimes tempted to lay eggs in the
garden rather than her nesting box in the coop.

Frenchy finds Buffy's egg on the ground.

Lucky Lydia didn't step on Buffy's secret stash of eggs hidden in the greenery!

Frenchy walks through the greenery.

Frenchy is a French Wheaten Maran hen with a diva personality.

Here comes Speckles with little Buffy closely watching in the background.
