Hen, rooster, capon, whatever. Just let it be known that I am extremely favouritist towards Booted Bantams.
7th August, 23: 21pm, From James A-S: "A particularly feathery Buff Orpington Hen. Beautiful but very thick."
My first thought: thick is an odd choice of word, but ah yes, the hen is a little chunky. My second thought: oh I see, he meant stupid.
7th August: And from Lottie, the following best chicken:
21 August
and from Veg Plotting. She says:
"Daisy's a very dischuffed chook at the moment because I've entered Maisie in your Best Chicken category. Here she is, doing her best to find sustenance from our gravel path on a gloomy summer's day."

Maggi sent this of her rooster - what a hero, a proper Chanticleer:
and she also enclosed some of her fairly rowdy-looking geese caught in mid-squawk - I love it! And then one of them looking a bit more demure...

Wicked chickens. Says Ms J, of Cambridge: "The chickens live at Boscobel House, and were begging for crumbs under our table when we had tea there, and doing an outstanding impression of feather dusters."
What kind of chicken is that white one? Is it even really a chicken? does anyone have the requisite countryside lore for a sure id?
