[Lesley]

Yes - and she's got no tail either!

[red]

Still, when it comes back it will look lovely Like a well pruned shrub that always comes back bigger and better

[Lesley]

[Chunkin]

Really enjoyed the photos Red, they're lovely!

 

Glad to see someone else included their other pets - maybe we could have a section for cats and dogs etc??

[Lesley]

I've moved all the mouse/cat posts to a topic called Other Pets.

 

Post in here to let others know that you've added photos to the Gallery - we all love a good look at other peoples photos.

[Lesley]

I emailed a photo to Kate earlier - this is a part of what she received

It went on for pages - I don't think I'll post this one on the Gallery

 

I did think I might use it in Word Association - out of spite - because until today, this was the only forum i visit which didn't have Word Association, and I liked it for that

Dear All, we have a 'local-ish Omleteers' get-together on Saturday 12 November at the National Herb Centre nr Banbury. Having pigged out on their home-made cake, we had a photo taken near their chickens.

 

L-R Clare Taylor and Rosie, Chunkin & Kit, Ruth, Kay Haggie with Sarah and Lucy,Buffie, Gallina, Sheila and Lesley

Here we are:

 

 

We are trying to persuade the Omlet lads that they really ought to have an official Omlet get-together somewhere central next summer!

Clare - you're way behind - where have you been?

[The Dogmother]

Been busy doing stuff, what have I missed?

[Lesley]

The photo is already posted somewhere!

[Trish]

New photo's of chooks in snow posted in Trish's album, page 29 in Gallery

[ali-s]

Thanks Trish.

I have taken a peek.

 

Good idea to post which page they are on. I often go to the gallery, see there has been changes to an album, and then I have no idea which page I will find the new pictures. There are so many pages to trawl through.

 

I have still not managed to work out how to post pictures here.

[chocchick]

Kate, should I be able to login to the gallery section, cos I can't...........

Don't know if need to do this yet as can't get photos to other half's laptop at the moment

[The Dogmother]

You don't usually need to log in on the gallery to do anything and that includes posting your photos. You get extra admin rights if you do log in, but I understand that you need to use a different log in from your forum one.

 

happy days!

New pics of Harrie, Charlie and Lottie

What an unusual chook Lottie is - what sort is she?

[buffie]

Araucana and lace wyandotte

 

BBx

[The Dogmother]

Wow, is she supposed to lay blue eggs then?

 

Is she a bantam then?

 

One of my girlies (Ruby) is a silver laced wyandotte bantam and they are stunning (at the back in this shot).

 

I would really love to get a blue egg layer, and if this chappie of yours breeds them, then I would be interested.

[buffie]

The fluffy head is araucana (it's not all fluffed up yet) and the lace is the silver pattern. She is rather unusual with a pea comb (just edited and think that's what it is) but that's usual for her cross. She is sweet and named after an unusual one eyed cat I had years ago, beautiful little thing was a silver colour and always wanted to sit on your knee or shoulders. Don't suppose Lottie will win the most beautiful chook competition but her nature will be beautiful I'm sure.

 

Not wishing to offend anyone this must have happened because I'v never fancied a bantam and also never liked the fluffy chickens much to look at So I wind up with both and I will never judge a chook again!!

 

You know the saying...You can't judge a chook by it's cover

Sorry Clare posted the last message and missed your reply . She should lay blue eggs he said. God your bantams are lovely! He had 2 more I could have had but I was overwhelmed and they all had slightly different colours and markings but he said she was the sweetest and would be incredibly tame, think he's right. Will discuss this when I see you!!

 

Looking at yours the markings are the same sort of thing but the colour is a sort of pale grey from the araucana. Yours look very glam.

Here's the link to the rest of my gallery so that you can see the bunnies too.

 

My album

[buffie]

Just looked and they are lovely. Clare have posted pics of our trip to Castle Ashby...Give a few mins and then hopefully you can view them in daisies Album

 

Have tried to post and the computer went odd... Have to try again but may not get them on tonight

I had another look at Lottie and she has some of the wyandotte shape, but isn't quite so rounded and the shape of her tail looks different too. She is a lovely girl though and looks good natured - my wyandottes are a couple of tinkers! but they are lovely with it.
