The house and run are bigger than they look in the photos, they can really have a proper run about in there (as they did yesterday fighting over some blueberries). But they're definitely not going to be confined to there permanently. Once they are settled in and know it's 'home' (about five days apparently) they'll be out whenever we're around. The garden is probably around 100 sq yds (if not a bit bigger) with grass, veg patches for dust bathing and getting grit and bushes and trees for them to root around about.
We definitely wouldn't be keeping them in any conditions that had been shown to be 'inhumane'.
The personalities are already starting to come through, and they're definitely very different from each others.
So. Names. Mel and I each came up with two, and we went with one of each. Mel had the girls from the Good Life (Margot and Barbara) while I played the movie nerd with Princess Layer and Miss Hennypenny (Princess and Missy for short). We settled on Margot (who is bigger, lighter coloured and likes staying outside) and Miss Hennypenny (so called Missy by me, but Henny by Mel) who is smaller and darker, but produced our first egg yesterday, before clucking proudly to let us know....
And yes, the grass needs cut, and the undergrowth cut back, but we were focussing on getting the fruit and veg all up and running properly before turning to the 'aesthetic'....
