While we were in Compton we saw some chickens at Limekiln Boat yard that looked as though they had come straight out of “Chicken Run”. Spoke to Dave the owner who said they were Buff Orpingtons. Not the brightest of birds (it took them two weeks to notice that the fenclosure ence had been moved to reveal more grass), quite heavy so not keen on flighing and the cockrel has a weedy, hard to hear crow that doesn’t upset the neighbours. So Kaz, when you finish your extension have a look at these lovelies…
Also found a really interesting web site http://www.bufforpington.co.uk/
More chickens, I think these are a type of Leghorn?
