Meet Olive

She's Beryl's sister, a Columbine hybrid who should lay green eggs, soon I hope, judging by the colour of their combs. Peace seems to be reigning in Dingly Dell - all hens in the run together now. Will put them all in the same henhouse at the weekend if there's no trouble.

Have been for a run, hung out the washing and am now doing a huge tidy, trying to be ruthless.
