The New Girls

well done..would love to home a few myself:thumb:

 

No garden master, I'm going to wait till their old enough to put leg tags on them so we know who's who

Those who say they'd love some, you should get some :thumb:

 

I have some wild Turkeys around here in the woods, some days I will here the gobble gobble noise from that. When they come up close in the yard, my cats think they can catch them. They are in stocking mode, so cute.

 

They look like Welsummers to me, so you should get lovely brown speckled eggs when they start to lay. count their toes, if they have five you could have a rare Dorking breed???

good luck with the fox - I have had many an altercation with him!!!

 

they're cream crested legbars and lay blue-green eggs, I just can't find their authentic breed name.

 

sounds a bit like a Leghorn cross barnevelder, can't remember what legbars are, but know a man that probably does if you need to get more info.

 

waco that would be great, I'd like to know

 

They look good

I have 6 ex bats, the garden wouldn't be the same without them

 

They're great aren't they I had some but they got eaten( fox not me) so I'm hoping for a better turn out this time.

 

How about you old hands put up a thread about how to rescue and care for ex battery hens? I have the size of garden-and kids who would love to help. I have two cats, but I could work around it I think, with a run-and besides, there will be more of us who have the perfect conditions.

 

Done Claire

My cat not been bothered with the others I had and hasn't shown much interest in the chicks, guess it depents on thier tempriment(can't spell:lollol:

 

Thanks Waco, will get in touch

The girls have just had a trip to the local school but I think the kids enjoyed it more than the girls did

 

Sweetpea, fellow garden chicken keeper here. We have Pekins and Silkies

 

sussex is that the breed or their names?

 

That's the breeds. Pekins are small bantams, think pom poms with big feathery feet and Silkies are seriously fluffy, with fluffy top knots and feathery feet. Very cute.
