Egluntyne Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 This is a Magpie. It is a Barred Plymouth Rock / White Rhode cross. It looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have two magpies - one is really friendly, the other is more shy. Still waiting for them to come into lay................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I've got a magpie that I've had for nearly a month now, she's a gorgeous looking bird, just like the above pic (see my gallery for more) and she's starting to get a lot more easy to handle now that she's crouching. I'm hoping for eggs from her very soon. She's secretly my favourite. Don't tell the others though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My Bounty is a magpie hen (see my gallery). At first she was very bossy & pecky, now she is lovely..quite vocal and a huge mother hen sort! She is second in the pecking order. Fantastic plum blush eggs from her...nice sized too. Very pretty bird. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
