I've never tried to post pics, but I find the new format difficult to get my old brain around in any case.
I'm fully with you about the 'flying feathers' in late November. Why, just why? My sheep shed is full of them every morning and I'm going to have to dig out an old 'chicken coat' for one of the Naked Necks. Never well endowed with feathers, she is all but bald right now with big areas of bright red body exposed to the elements. Looks like she's been plucked.
Aren't all rats dark brown with pointy noses, Kath? Mabe not, I think some sewer rats are black.....no doubt you'll know, Marie.
Kath - will ask OH about rats - he's out at the mo
Sandie - good luck with your little Naked Neck...I find the chicken coats useful to an extent but mine are all wool so when it rains I think mine are better off without them as they love splashing about so I wonder if woolly coats getting wet is worse.
Helen - good to be back!
This site looks a lot better - simpler but less spam

i wonder if your white ones are leghorns - do their tails tick up like a fan? ive got one and she lays lovely white eggs and two that are leghorn x araucana who dont have tails and lay bluish eggs
