Yolky Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Ohhh no I am trapped... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/owenbex/chickens15.jpg Do you like my new chickens..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/owenbex/chickens17.jpg Here they are in the new improved run... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/owenbex/chickens18.jpg I am totally loving hemcore! Here is my Buttercup. I think she is a bit older than the other two and may be coming into lay (reddening up, croutching) any ideas on age? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/owenbex/chickens19.jpg And here are my GNRs Rosey at the back and Peaches at the front...again any idea on age? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/owenbex/chickens20.jpg thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 By the size and colour of their wattle/comb i would say around 18 weeks old.They're still quite pale and small,but should redden up in 2-3 weeks. Great photos by the way and i like the idea of zip tying the plastic edging to the run.They're good looking chookies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 The two little roosters in the second photo are rather sweet. I'd keep them if I were you. Lovely photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsm_jones Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ooo...second photo makes the eglu run look a lot bigger than I thought it was! Good to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Fabulous run. We've spent the weekend making a permanent bark chipping base for our girls, except I underestimated how many bags of chippings we need, so we're off to Homebase later if OH is feeling better (he's poorly today ) So how many eggs do you think you'll get from the odd looking birds in your second picture?
