jomaxsmith Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I visited our local poultry centre today and they have re-jigged their pure breeds to show them off better. I never thought I would get the chicken collecting bug but I am really glad I have no more room or I would be over-run! They had some gorgeous black and white striped bantams, some fantastic old fashioned looking rust coloured hens (they had a german name), white polands, white silkies with some gorgeous chicks, laced wyandottes (now I understand why you lot love them - they're so striking!) as well as other breeds I recognise from discussions on here. Maybe when we get more space..... Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was completely ignorant about all the fancy breeds of chicken when I got mine - I thought you just got brown, black or white . Some of the pictures you see on here are just lovely! I'm the same as you, no room for any more. Just as well really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I was originally going to get 3 chickens, then it went up to 7 and now I have 15 with another 2 cochins on order for later this year and a blue egg laying hybrid. We are now planning a run which will take up a huge chunk of the garden. It certainly is addictive. Even hubby has the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
