hillfamily Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 just looked at the john lewis website and they've got the S5 at quite a reasonable price (bearing in mind what I paid for DD camera birthday pressie that was just a standard 'point and shoot') I would love a decent digital camera as i would love to start taking proper arty pics of my girls :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Lovely pics! Do you know if the combs on the hybrids from Omlet get as big as Miss Marples? As I understand it, ex-batts grow big combs so that they can keep cool in the densely-packed chicken sheds. Birds have a higher body temperature than us humans, and you know how hot it gets when humans pack a place, so imagine what it's like with chickens Anyway, so, free-ranging hens have smaller combs to conserve heat - and Miss Marple's comb will probably shrink in time as her body gets used to her new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
