Meet the Chickens...

Meet My Broodhens...
Lazarus (Right)
Mary (who's rear end we see behind Lazarus)
Martha (Left)
They are Blackbreasted Red Old English Bantams*. Mary and Martha are my Broodhens. Martha
is an exceptional broody, but she has, well, an intolerable temperament. Mary is slightly less broody,
but is far friendlier . Lazarus is rather shy, but friendly as well.

*The BBRed color is simply Wildtype with the presence of a pair of Mahogany genes (Mh/Mh).
