Herefordshire's best-dressed poultry move into county school

PUPILS at a Herefordshire school have hatched a plan to keep their chickens snug during the winter.
The birds are warming to their new home at Orleton Primary School after villagers knitted them woolly jumpers.
The plucky trio are former battery hens and, as a result, are short on feathers leaving them liable to feeling the cold.
But following a request by a school governor Milly, Molly and Mandy are now able to explore their new home in comfort, much to the pupils’ delight.
“They are really friendly and the kids love them,” said school business manager Rowena Morris.
