Old Speckled Hen Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Has anybody got a picture of a Corton Blue? When I google the name it keeps coming up with, "Do you mean Cordon Bleu Chicken" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi I was just about to point you to my web site but I think you've already found it Here is Leala anyway, any chance to show them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 They've got names! They've got names! They are so lovely (and they don't end in 'y' ) Which one is your god-daughter's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 They've got names! They've got names! They are so lovely (and they don't end in 'y' ) Which one is your god-daughter's? I know! Didn't she do well picking a non-embarrassing name. Her chicken is Leala. The others are named Elliot and Carla after the two girls in the comedy "Scrubs", my favourite TV program. And Shaun named the baby Suffolk Noir, Robin. I'm not too sure why, but I think there is a dark haired woman he drools over on a TV program called Robin . I think I can still make them them end in an "i" sound. Ellie, Carlie, Robbie, Lealie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Come on Mostin, we're all ears. You can't dump a comment like that on us and then not tell us what you're planning. At least 2 walk in runs on the bottom part , with cubes in, or one big one, I'm not fussy. Another run up in the woods where I might be able to keep a boy without him disturbing the neighbours, then I could hatch my own chicks . Also a huge electric netted area on the top lawn for as many ex batts as I can fit, with extra housing near the greenhouses. I don't think those plans are anything to worry him do you . I also want a couple of donkeys and some rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
