They are adorable

When do they start earning their keep by laying eggs?

I know that they are more pets than layers before anyone thinks I mean that question

And I still want henses

Tell me about it!

They’re both!

Usually around eighteen weeks - so round about the end of October / start of November.

A bit later, of course, other things may happen…

I love em all but the ones with fevvery feets are just adorable

Which one of the henny family had fevvery feets?

Of these - all of them! Just a bit more profuse on some.

Tricky to work out exactly what the lineage is - the feathered legs could be from Bran or, further back, the silkie line. And Bran himself was (probably) part silkie too. Kiki - the Cochin roo - is also in the mix.
