Guest Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) As we only have Maud who is laying now and as the BHWT are oversubscribed, we decided to get a cple of POL girlies. Went to Garden Poultry in Frodsham with 2 Red Rockets in mind, but after chatting with John (the owner), we somehow ended up with a Blue Comet (Eleanor Rigby) and a Sussex Rock (Lucy in the sky with diamonds) Eleanor and Lucy for short Some pics http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.1.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.2.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.4.jpg Maud, looking bemused at the newcomers http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.6.jpg getting to know you, getting to know all about you (p.s. look at lottie, bottom right, she's all feathered up now!!! ) http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.12.jpg you lookin' at me? http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.13.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.14.jpg I said, you lookin' at me? http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.15.jpg temporary quarters until they're all the best of chums http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/270908.16.jpg Lucy already seems to be a bit of a madam (Lynda, I'm hoping you're not a prophet John said she should be okay with our girls, fingers x'd ) and Eleanor is a sweetie but it's early days obviously. Maud was a marauder when she first arrived and now she's my cuddle chicken Edited September 29, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 They are lovely Poet, and by the looks of them shouldn't be long before you get eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi Snowy, John reckons very soon, he showed us how to check the pelvic bone to see if they're near to laying and he thinks about 10 days or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 thanks guys we let them free range together for a bit today and all went well for about 10 minutes until the old girls chased the new ones into bushes we put the older girls back in their run to give the new girls a bit more of a chance to get their confidence up. http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.1.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.2.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.3.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.4.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.5.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.6.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/290908.7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
