Northerner they are 2 rhobars & 1 golden legbar, they will be full sized chickens & they seem to be growing daily - they are eating like little horses.  :)

Jeannine - we have been stuck for names for them - only serious contender so far being Nigel ! from number 3 son so maybe your suggestions will stick - would that make you godmother?  :)

They seem healthy and he had loads of POLs too - mainly legbars. 

Hollygate Farm is just outside Horsford so very near us.
