New hens not going into Eglu Go Up

[Stevie]

Stunning looking chook! I hope her introduction goes well.

Aww, she is absolutely gorgeous. You're so lucky. I think she might also be a salmon faverolle, but don't quote me on that!

OOh!!! I just caught up what a little beauty isent she a lucky girl makes me go all broody! I can feel a longing for a cube coming on!

[Lovemychooks]

Oooooo, what a beautiful chicken....you are very lucky and so is she by the sounds of things

[mayflower]

Do you think she has a bit of Silkie in her as well? She is very beautiful whatever breed she is.

She looks beautiful Pengy, lucky her and lucky you. It's good she has a nice home with someone who appreciates her. Any eggs yet?

 

On first looks, I think she's a mix of leghorn and cochin/brahma, personally. She looks like a massive pekin, bless her!

 

We get animals on our freecycle - I have to admit, I thought it was against freecycle rules.

She's lovely, & has gone to a fine home

She laid an egg yesterday - I didn't post because I was going to upload a picture to go with it. It weighed 55g, so smaller than my other girls lay.

 

She has also done a LOT of fronting up to my other chickens - neither her nor another like to back down, there is neck puffing up and jumping up and down either side of the bars.

 

I think I may see some serious aggresssion when I let her out with the others but I can deal with that - its another fine issue to discuss at my hen parties!

 

She has to be in with them by Saturday as I need her in the big run with them during James' party in the afternoon - I can't trust the kids not to leave the side gate open and I don't think leaving her in that eglu run on the lawn would be good either - I don't want the kids bothering her.

Lovely girl Pengy, lucky you for being in the right place at the right time.

 

My Brahma's eggs are about the same size, the Cream Legbars are usually slightly smaller.

 

Attila the buff brahma squares up like that - she actually charges my Springer Spaniel if he goes too near.

How did Saturday go? Is she settled in with her new friends.
