superjules Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Herer's some pics of my buff plymouth rock bantam 3 weeks ago and one taken today. She's been with us since the end of February. We are hoping for some eggs any day now! Does anyone know at what age plymouth rocks normally start laying? I can't have much longer to wait, surely? She looks so lovely and red!

Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) What a transformation! She is very pretty. I shouldn't think you will have long to wait at all! Is she crouching when you approach? Edited April 14, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 she's gorgeous . Nice and red so wont be long till she lays She looks like a slimmer version of my old fat girl Ella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 She looks lovely - what a pretty colour she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks guys for your lovely comments - I think she's beautiful too and it's been wonderful to watch her transformation. She's not crouching, but neither of my laying bantams crouch, so maybe she won't. She's still impossible to catch, but her appetite has increased and she's eating for England (drums fingers impatiently....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 She's lovely Jules. I'll have to pop round and visit soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Forgot to mention - the other reason I'm so impatient for Bumble to lay is because I've promised myself a bantam skelter once she starts! Feel free Lisa - bit busy this week with a pta meeting, a church group reunion and extra karate tournament training, but next week should be calmer.

Stevie Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No idea when she might start laying,but she really is a pretty bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 That is one beautiful girl superjules. They had buff Plymouth Rocks at the breeders where I got my two from last week, but the full sized versions. They are such a lovely colouring.

superjules Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 The growers food they are on finishes them off beautifully. I'm afraid I can't take any credit for her lovely looks, all I did was choose her. Now, DD on the other hand..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirkwood Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 she certainly has grown up and what a beautiful hen she is to. By the way she's posing there i think she knows it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 She's lovely . Amazing how they can change so much in just a couple of weeks . Hope she lays soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
