landgirl Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Introducing Amber and the girls, who came to live with me in early August. Two of them have been laying for several weeks. Yesterday I found their first double yolker before I went to work and, after work, a first egg each from the two that hadn't layed previously, so it was quite an exciting day. I hope that, after seeing the photos , people will understand why only one of them has a name! Amber is the only one I can reliably identify for certain. The other 3 are quite hard to tell apart even if they are standing still, in a line. Which they don't! I don't let them out til 7am. They are WAY quieter than my old hens and I am being a bit stricter about how many treats I give them. So far so good, as I don't want to have the noise problem I had in early spring with my old hens, who eventually had to move to a lovely place in the Peak District, as I was about to be sent to Coventry by my neighbours! I can still see them when I want, as they live near my parents and I can easily peer over the wall at them in their new home, where they are in a mixed flock of 20, including several gentlemen admirers Anway, I love my new girls and wish I'd learnt the 7am rule a little earlier!

Egluntyne Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 They are lovely. Why not get some leg rings to help you identify them : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
