katieandnick Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 We acquired three new girls at the weekend, thanks to the power of the East of England show They are Silkie Sussex crosses, and have the weirdest feet of any chicken we've seen! No names yet, we're still deciding Has anyone else got any of these girlies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No crosses, but I do have two pure breed Silkies which are lovely. Weird feet? Do you mean the 5 toes and feathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieandnick Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yes, that's it! Initially we thought something was a bit odd about them, but since reading up apparently it's part of the breed (thank god) Anyway, introducing Sheila, June and Mary! http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b190/docalgae/?action=view¤t=IMG_1362.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Gorgeous.....and with very individual markings so you will be able to tell them apart easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieandnick Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 They are really lovely, but unfortunately Janice (aka The Famous Grouse) has already taught them how to "sing" with her most lovely voice They're getting excited about being let out, but they'll stay in a wee while yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
