Imo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 hello! Haven't been on much lately as work seems to have taken over a bit, but was out in the garden yesterday catching the sunshine and managed to grab a hold of Queeny (she isn't the cuddliest of chickens). She's no skinny minny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Starlet, one of my bluebelles is just the same! We got her and she came to about the mid size between Muddles and Henrietta, however I'm certain she has grown whilst we've had her as she is the biggest of the lot now!

BeckyBoo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 She certainly doesn't look too impressed!! Lovely looking hen though Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 She looks so much like my Bizmillah- a Bluebelle with an orange front! Biz is a gigantic 'big boned' hen too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I just can't get over how heavy she is She makes poor Vivienne look pretty teeny in comparison!! Maybe bluebelle's are just a naturally larger breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think they are. My friends blubelle is massive too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 What a wonderful sized chicken! I find my biggest, fattest hens lay the smallest eggs. Sometimes they are only 55grams and the ex batts can lay 75-95 gram eggs almost on a daily basis. Anyone else find this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkybijou Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 What a handsome chook! My two are teeny in comparison. Doris is barely bigger than a pigeon when you hold her feathers down - very small for a Welsummer. Dora looks bigger cos she's a big fluffy mumsy looking Wyandotte, but she's still a tiny chook compared to yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think she's about the same size as my bluebell - but I think you are a lot smaller than me!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imo Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Queeny isn't a big layer - I think her biggest was around 60g, which isn't very impressive for her size!! Vivienne always lays the bigger eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Snap! Bizmillah is the fattest glossiest chook with the softest feathers but her eggs are bantam sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
