AJuff Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 What a very pretty chicken! I can see why it's called Golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi, I don't know the answer to your question. However, on the meadowsweet website they sell Bovans Goldlines but the picture on their webpage looks different to the one you posted. http://www.meadowsweetpoultry.co.uk/goldinfo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Googled it and found this picture It doesn't look too different from 2 of my Omlet Gingernuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirkwood Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yes i googled and got this , it was a bad line so i think thas what he said Goldline not Goldens.

Guest Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've got two goldlines and they are the nosiest little girlies I have ever come across! They learned within about 2 hours that small children = treats, and will come clucking anytime they see someone in the garden - lovely chickens!

DW Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Mirkwood, Having a general browse around the forum and noticed the names of your hens are exactly the same as mine! We've had Nutmeg and Bramble for a week now and they've settled in really well. Enjoy yours when they arrive! [/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for your replies as you know i am getting them on Sunday and i am a little nervous to say the least. but very excited at the same time I'm sure they'll be fine. Sorry to hear about the quail - hopefully your new chickens will give the cat pause for thought! Yesterday I was looking out of the bedroom window and saw our old cat reconsider coming round the back way because she would have to run the gauntlet of three bantams (who are half her size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirkwood Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi dw and eyren yep i think their very good names just cant wait now. As for the Quail well i know it was Mooky because on closer inspection her fur was caught on the run where the Quail are. The new ark will arrive soon and i will feel better having them in there. one of them is my favorite, and sits on my knee for mealworms. I hope the chooks give her a run for her money but I DONT TRUST HER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
