Mrs One-Eye, Neddie, Seagoon and a Cookie
Mrs Black has a sister called Mrs One-Eye. This is for reasons apparent when you meet her. She is slightly smaller than Mrs Black, and rather timid due to her limited range of vision. The two sisters are the progeny of a Vorwerk cockerel and a Black Frizzle hen. There may be a bit of something else in their make up as well. Anyway Mrs One-Eye sat on a couple of her eggs in the corner of the loose box and a rosecomb popped in and out to lay her contribution to the clutch. As the majority of the eggs weren't fertile - being Mrs Blacks and Mrs One-Eyes, just two small chicks hatched out.
"Two more baby Rosecombs" said Dad. I hid in the shed.
"Gordon, why are you having a go at the Bossy Rosecomb?" Mum asked recently. And I nonchalantly sauntered off to play with a plum.

Help! Hide me quickly!
"Gordon!" Mum took me to task. "These two baby rosecombs have gold feathers down their backs! What have you been up to?" I legged it as fast as I could, but Mum caught up with me in the barn.
So we tried to think of names for them. I came up with Neddie and Seagoon - the Harry Secombe character from The Goon Show - as they are a Secombe of sorts!
