Single hen

[Janty]

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.

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

Wow! What a stunning collection of chooks!

[Janty]

Thanks. They are monsters really. Totally taken over the garden furniture much to hubby's disgust.

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.

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.

Beautiful girls Janty I especially like the pictures of thier bums.

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.....

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.

I love my splash cochin...Scary Spice but I have to confess that my fave is my little partridge pekin, Mrs. Beeton.

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.

[RubyReckless]

Thanks, Janty! You've some lovely girls there!

[Janty]

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.

Congratulations Janty . That really is a gorgeous selection of girlies you have there .

[Janty]

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.
