TAJ Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just thought you might be intersted in the before and after photos - these show them at POL before laying and today - all now laying - I think the comb size and colour development is well illustrated for those that want an example.

MedusA Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 What lovely girls. I think your Bluebelle is especially pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 They are gorgeous TAJ and funnily enough the exact same breeds that we're getting on Saturday!!!!! Except I'm not sure if ours is a bluebelle - the breeder calls them blues as he said he was contacted by the bluebelle people(?) and was told he couldn't call them that. And our daughter has already named the Blue 'Bella'! Very handy to know what we're looking for comb-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thank you for posting your photos it has given us a good idea how old our chickens are(19weeks ish) as the person we got them from didnt really seem to know as he was only delivering them. Emma I really like your black rocks-yours seems to have a lot of orange whereas ours don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
