Not sure about Bill, Brian and Barry....................what about Bert?

Baldrick?

Or Ploppy

I'm expecting them all to look the same and I won't know which is which!! One name is probably enough for all 3.

My grandson always calls the brown hen that visits our garden Doris, I don’t know why, or where he got the name, he started it when he was about 6

Perfect     

The Three Berts have arrived and they all look the same!!  Maybe one has a more sticky-up tail or a whiter bottom.  One's under the coop and I'm not sure if she has any special features - if a sticky up tail and a white bum can be called special.
They've only been here an hour and White bum Bert has found the nest box and laid a beautiful dark brown egg. 
Mrs Brown asserted herself and grabbed a few scruffs but they don't seem too worried and are mixing together - apart the hidden one who may be looking for somewhere to lay.............or is too scared to come out!

Apparently they're local Welsh hens from a free range, organic farm so I'm very lucky. 

Photos needed when they’ve settled in. You’re really going with Bert then !? Poor little buggers. By all accounts things with that name are a bit nuts. So I’ve been told         .

My Dad was a Bert (Albert) and yes, definitely nuts.
One is dustbathing; I've picked up two and put them on the treadle feeders, Number 3 is out from under the coop and all 4 are mixing together. So far, so good.

I hope Alberta, Roberta and Bertha live long and happy lives in their new home. Bert means bright and noble. Make of that what you wish SC.
