Chicken boarders

[Seagazer]

I think they look like they have a 60's beehive on top. Gorgeous

Boggart and Quidditch look a lot like Cream legbars to me.

 

Where can you buy Fenton Blues? I've never seen them advertised, but a quick google just brings up somewhere in Devon/Somerset.

 

I got them from **Raw Green Cottages**

The camera never lies - what beautfiul ladies.

I am currently looking at adding a couple of newbies to my flock. I have found a breeder in Shropshire who class the Cream Legbars as light breeds Can they live along side Bantams?

I have kept banties alongside cream legbars; should be fine altho may have jip in the early days ...

Oh Egluntine, they are stunning! Gawky teenagers is right though, Hufflepuff looks just like our baby girl Coriander.

They are smallish as 'big hens' go and fairly gentle, so I don't see why not with careful introduction.

 

Nice site that - window shopping for hens! This one is lovely, looks like a negative version of my Ancona, Jude.

I have ordered 2 Cream Legbars, which will be ready in about 10 weeks time I have ordered them from www.wernlas.com Who were recommended to me by my friends mother-in-law. I am soooo excited. However my girl Lorraine is looking like she needs to go to the vets She gets a swollen cheek so the vet s"Ooops, word censored!"es all the puss out followed by a course of antibiotics. She managed a year in-between s"Ooops, word censored!"es but it has only been a couple of months this time I am having a terrible time this year with my girls I wonder if I am doing anything wrong. Having said that Daisy is as fit as a flea and has never been poorly.

I often think it's down to their age - once they get over 2 or 3 years old, things start to go wrong

I think she is about 3. How old are your girls?

[The Dogmother]

They range through from 25 weeks to 4 years; I practice 'stock rotation', which is why I have so many!!!

Oooo who is 25 weeks?

 

I have booked a vet appointment with the vet that keeps chickens tonight at 5.40. DD1 gets very anxious now when we go to the vets because more often then not recently they do not come home

I just had a quick look at your album and I cannot believe that it has been 2 years since you hatched Herbert

Yeah, and we ate him not long after that!

 

Bunty the white araucana is 35 weeks now. As big as Dizzy, the other, older araucana that we got at the same time, but neither of them are laying yet. Out of that newer batch of 4 girls (all slightly different ages) the maran is laying but none of the others are yet. I am hoping that the skittish little Ancona will start soon; her headgear looks right, but she's as jumpy as a new lamb and not crouching at all Pure breeds are always later to lay and in my experience, blue egg layers are the latest.
