wiblick Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 and their Dad who is 3/4 White Sussex and 1/4 Minorca Their mother is either a brown Araucuna mix bantam that lays greeny blue eggs or a standard commerical brown chicken - the bantam had a selection of eggs put under her. They were born on Tuesday and so won't be home to me until the second week of May! The cutest one - a sort of splotchy brown colour unforunately also has a mark on its head so is quite likely a male. But I'm very pleased to report that their run will measure approx 20' X 5'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiblick Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) I'm getting impatient now. Mainly because I've seen these pics of my Hens to Be. and and it'll be late May before I can get them. Need to light a fire under OH and get the run built!

wiblick Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks everyone. It really is difficult waiting for them to grow up and my OH to build the run. I sit staring at the space in the garden it will be in. & I might just have ordered nearly everything I need, just 2 months early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am in same boat..my cube is coming 14th April I have just persuaded my 13 year old to come to help me in the garden to start banging some posts in! At least I will feel something is going on...i have 2 on order but if i get my run built may go and find myself a couple more something hens. Yours look absolutely lovely..au naturelle! My ducks were hatched under a broody hen and she looked after them beautifully (probably not au naturelle)! keep us posted i am so nosey! indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
