My girls, on a grey day in April

[Anonymous]

At last, I've worked out to reduce the size of my pictures so that they will appear on the forum.

I don't know much about photography, and I wasn't using my point and shoot digital (that's gone to Portugal with my daughter), but Hubby's great big digital SLR (that sounds indecent!).
Apparently I had all the wrong settings - who cares about ISO in the real world??

Anyway, the upshot is that everything came out with a reduction in blues, so the combs look a bit flourescent.
I've adjusted as best I can (i.e. pressed the colour balance button on the computer).
Here they are anyway.

This is one of my new girls, Amber


And here is my other new girl, Bella - she looks like she's been dropped in a barrel of oil.


This is Lemony, who seems to be able to mine for polystyrene - I have no idea where it is coming from, but she knows how to find it and runs like the wind when I try and take it off her - little madam!
And Buffy, the baby of the flock and my son's favourite

Hi Liz,

Amber and Bella are like looking in a mirror! ( if you know what I mean)

They are ALL adorable.... I would love a Lemony and Buffy colour. Lemony, or LEM-OWN-NEE (pronounced this way), is a greek name, and having lived in Greece, I wanted to name all mine after herbs, olives, and lemon trees-forgetting that one has to be diplomatic.

Beautiful girls, and I am sure you will have less to worry about.....

Sharron,
I got Lemony and Buffy from Heathylee House Farm on the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border.http://www.heathylee.co.uk
They're really nice there - if a little out in the wild/mud. Give them a ring, I bet they're hatching at the moment.
