But Santa is under strict instructions this year, so if those of you at Omlet HQ could please make his job a little easier I'd be ever so grateful And I want a purple one please.

Lesley Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The way things seem to be moving (not!) - perhaps you should be aiming for a Christmas Present Sarah?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well, we go away next week, so hopefully soon after we come back To be honest I have been a little lazy in actually finding some ,& Cleo (they are her flock) has VERY set ideas on what she wants (2 polands, a Blue Pekin & a Silkie!) The pen is all done,so if I can get my act together we should get the little ones quite soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Does Cleo know that silkies are very inclined to broodiness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 No, but I figure she will find out soon enough. All good character building stuff! Actually Clare we have just bought 2 six week old Pekins from a lovely chap in Marlow. His name is James,& I think he must be about 14,his hens are gorgeous & so is his garden He had all these little babies scuttling about - just adorable So, we have a lemon cuckoo & a millefleur on the way in 2 weeks! Here is a link to his site http://www.freewebs.com/tarquin90 He also put us in touch with Liz Holt,who I think you spoke with before (cottagepoultry.tk) We hope to get a couple more from her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Martin,although we have never met he sort of reminded me of you. He used to breed & sell call ducks,but they got too noisy for the neighbours,so he changed to Bantams instead. His set-up was brilliant,with all the little Bantams toddling around the lovely garden,looking like garden ornaments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 One of the things I like most about pekins is the way that they trundle around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
