Sublime to the ridiculous...

Popped to a local farm shop and feed store today and was rather excited on my arrival to come across a little group of some fairly massive chickens!! They are a breed called Cochins and I've been harbouring a slight yearning for some of these giant chickens for a while! 

Sadly or perhaps thankfully they weren't for sale... not sure how big a house I'd have to get for them!! Maybe a converted shed???!

By absolute contrast here are a few pics of some of my teeny weeny girls!!  Noelle, Maggie and Mabel.
