A meeting of our White Star hens.<br />
The question is: do they know they are all the same colour?<br />
We have lots of different coloured hens mixing and living together - ginger, black, black and gold, blue-grey.<br />
And the White Stars.<br />
There are four of these.<br />
And here they are.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trampers are fantastic, says Keith, a regular visitor to Cobden Farm BnB.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He came with his wife and two friends earlier this month - and just two weeks after he'd had knee replacement surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He hired a Tramper at Beacon Fell Country Park, so he could have a good long walk with them... and says:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I must say that despite my reservations, the Tramper was fantastic. It allowed me to bounce over tree roots and drainage curbs with ease. But most surprising was its capability to climb and descent incredibly steep hills - 1:3 ish - with no hint of effort, yet under total control."</span></div>

Young Mr Fox was inches away from the hens.<br />
Just as well the chain link fence was between them or he'd've been even closer.<br />
And in broad daylight too.<br />
Cheeky.<br />
