Last night we got two new hens . . . Carmela was just too lonely all by her lonesome.  We miss our three little roosters, but we are trying to get used to our new flock.  Our new hens hatched in early March and we picked them up last night.  They have not been held like our little chicks were, so they are a bit skittish . . . but hopefully they will get used to us too.  Their names (we named them on the way home) are Lucy and Dottie.  So now we have a Carmela, a Lucille and a Dorthy (Lucy and Dottie).  Lucy is pretty small and she is an Araucana.  Dottie is pretty big and she is a Dominique.  Here are a few pictures.  Like I said, they are a bit skittish, so they are hard to photograph.  Sheldon is happy to have a little flock to herd around again!
