BarbaraJ Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Meet: Amber Ruby on the right And Ebony What fun I've never been up so early on a Sunday morning lol I had trouble getting them to come out of the coop though, i got Ebony out and she started making a loud noise i think because she wondered where the others were. Shhhing frantically though i knew she wasn't that loud compared to the rest of the birds ,so had to get them out of the coop, a few seconds of noist sqwarking they were eating and drinking pheww lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hubby thinks i'm mad but have spent a couple of hours just watching them sitting in the run with them, by the end of my 2nd hr stint they didn't seem so bothered by me being there! Defrosting now by puter! have to go to mother-n-laws for lunch but would much rather stay and watch them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NClaire Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Beautiful chickens. Is Ebony really a Bovan Nera? She looks really different to the ones I've seen which have been much more black with ginger breasts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NClaire Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is the sort of Bovan Nera I've seen before http://www.southmead.dsl.pipex.com/Breeds1.htm (scroll down). Ebony is lovely though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well spotted, no she is not a bovans nera! If you scroll further down there is a pic of a speckledy, and on this page scroll down to see a speckled star: http://www.cotswoldchickens.com/breeds.htm or the pied suffolk further down this page: http://www.glencroftpoultry.co.uk/hen_house.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NClaire Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yes I thought she looked more like a speckeldy on first sight, but your pied suffolk picture is more like it - my speckeldy has much more white! This is my Speckeldy (sorry haven't worked out how to put pics in posts!) http://bp1.blogger.com/_YHIsU9-FBLs/RzyB0cU-hkI/AAAAAAAAAC8/3x3GPFs56vU/s1600-h/novselina.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Sorry Barbara - we've hijacked your thread! Your girls are gorgeous but I think the black one is a pied suffolk! My friend bought one at the weekend and she looks just the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks for that i didn't think she wasn't like any pic i had seen online but just went with what he said, now i know I had a quick look outside and Amber ws in the coop so left them in peace to see if the other 2 will go in. Will pop out again in 10 mins, hope i haven't got to catch them again lol will go armed with a torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
