Friday Kelly and I ran to IFA to get some chicken feed. Somehow he managed to talk me into getting 3 more chickens. Oy. Keeping with our tradition of giving our hens Greek names - save Mabel, who ended up being a rooster! - I've christened them Clio, Thalia and Calliope: after three of the ancient muses.

These - hopefully - girls are California Whites, which means they'll be
white with a few black "spots" - and their eggs will also be white. And they're described as quite, docile and friendly, so the boys have taken to socializing them.
