Betty
Betty is calmest when she's being held. She unlike the other
birds in that aspect.

Eggs!
Our first Bantam eggs. Most likely Esther laid them, but we can't
be certain. The chickens laid them just in time for Scot's birthday
(July 4th)!

Greta & Esther
Greta is slightly smaller and has slightly darker coloring than
Esther.
Greta again. (Esther didn't want to be photographed.)
This was the best photo I could get of Esther. She's in the foreground
and Greta is in the background.
Since they're new, Greta and Esther sleep in
the rabbit cage and not the hen haven. Mabel's
not too keen on them right now and enjoys harassing
them. (I now know what hen-pecking actually looks
like.) You can't tell it too much in this photo,
but they're quite a bit smaller than Mabel and
Tilly (and the latter haven't reached full-size
yet).
