When we built the cottages, we were pondering what to name them. We had various ideas but none of them seemed right. They just didn't fit with our farm or its history.

Then we had a bright idea. Our dad was a bit of a poultry expert and was well known in the poultry and judging world. He loved bantams and so we thought, ‘Why not call the cottages afer his favourite bantam breeds?’

And that's where Wyandotte, Orpington and Sebright come from. (The lass on the left is a Wyandotte.)
