ubereglu Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well as the weather has been so ncie today I took the chance to pop outside and take a few pictures of the hens. I thought I'd post them on here as you haven't seen pictures of them since they were about 16 weeks. Well here's Molly, a Cream Legbar, she's now 28 weeks and crouching, so we should be expecting eggs from her soon. And here's Spice, a Barnevelder, she's 30 weeks, but isn't showing any signs of laying just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Great photos Liz Love the Legbar - I think they are gorgeous looking hens. Wish I had got another one along with my Clover in fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Something tells me you're planning something Cinnamon. When we were viewing hens at the breeder, (Rodney, lives in a nearby village) he had a whole row of them and they're reall cool sat next to each other!!! Anyway, I'm certainly hoping she'll lay soon as I'm starting to get impatient. Mind you it is nice her crouching for me as it means I can scoop her up and give her a cuddle easily and she's so soft!

hillfamily Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Love the chooks Liz Can you let me have the details of the breeder you got your cream legbar from - i really want one but can't find a breeder locally. You're only 2 hours from me so that's not too far to go for a chook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 He's this lovely guy in Chilthorne Domer who's name is Rodney. His stock varies a lot though and I reccomend you phone him forst to check what he's got. His details are on the Omlt club wiki by the way.
