So, the current score is:
Bertha, 1
Simone & Florrie, 2 each (Too early to work out who’s claiming whom)
Vicky 4, or possibly 5 (can’t get in to see or get pics - watch this space!)
Bibi, well, see for yourselves:

Wow! Clearly, Bibi is the most Fecund Fowl, but the rest of them have done amazingly well.

Bibi has decided that it’s time the family got to see a bit more of their domain, so they were all round the other side of the house:
Hunting skills are being honed…

They’ve already started looking speculatively at the kitchen windowsill! The wings aren’t up to it yet, but Bibi has been showing them how it works, of course! Not sure how we’ll cope with eleven more trying to jostle for position.
And that’s before the other nine break out…

Have edited the previous post to replace the video - for some reason YouTube seems to truncate on upload. Added on a few seconds to allow for it.

Well, yes - four roos, in fact: Soo, Tysie, Kiki and Bran. I wouldn’t care to try working out the family trees…
