Four New Pullets

Our friend Ronald collected 4x 14-week old pullets from Comps Poultry
breeders and delivered them to our house on 2nd February 2026.
The new girls are three-quarter leghorns
(Leghorn crossed with a New Hampshire breed).
We have named them (left to right): Peachy, Patty, Pixel and Spot. 
Patty stands in the front of the A-frame coop door whilst the
other three girls scratch down the back near the nesting boxes.
Pixel (left) and Peachy (right).
Peachy is Lydia's favourite pullet because she is so cute
and friendly and makes baby 'cheep cheep' noises.
This is Lydia's favourite photo of the new pullets.
Front to back: Peachy, Pixel, Patty and Spot (standing in the nesting box).
Eight year old Speckles ('the boss' hen) is not impressed with the 4 new
girls locked in the A-frame coop. Coco stays away from the new additions.
The chickens will get to know each other through the wire cage for a while.
