Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[landgirl]

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!

They are lovely.

 

Why not get some leg rings to help you identify them :

Give them names ... you will be able to identify them apart eventually!
