Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I am reeeeaaaalllly sad now. It's official! My first henniversary is on 7th October and to mark the occasion I am making up a Jessops picture book of my girls. Just been out to the garden to take some photos to add to the book and accidentally took 142. http://www.jpics.co.uk/photobook.htm?typ=1 They are very photogenic. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Here are some photos of my girls. and finally, my poor splash cochin who is seriously moulting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Er, you started a year ago and you already have HOW MANY!! Just been counting your signature hens. But I like the photos, I always enjoy seeing what other people have. Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I know In my defence, our son asked for 2 RIR miniatures for his birthday and when one of our hybrids died (hubby's favourite) he wanted to get some more of the same breed and who am I to say 'No' to hubby's request for chickens. The chickens have totally taken over now. They have even got the in-laws hooked and they have recently got some of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Beautiful girls Janty I especially like the pictures of thier bums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I don't know why chickens are so addictive. We were at the Malvern show yesterday and they had a poultry tent with lots of different breeds on display. I was going round saying "I like that one.... and that one...." DH had to point out we had to stop somewhere. But I would really like a spotty one (any breed) and a pencilled or partridge one. Then I think I would stop.....

Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Gorgeous girls can I ask which is your favorite breed so far?

Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Could I ask what breed the hen on the left in the second picture is? Each feather is so beautifullt banded, I've never seen a chicken like her. She is Kylie my Gold Partridge brahma miniature. Very aptly named as it happens. When she lays an egg, she sort or trills a little tune. Very hard to describe but lovely to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Here are some more photos of Kylie She is very friendly. I think that Mrs. Beeton inspires her. Whenever Mrs. B jumps up for a snuggle and a scoff, Kylie joins her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have just completed the book. It was really nice getting all the photos sorted and looking through the hundreds that I seems to have taken throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
