Dory "look at my white toe nail!"

 

 

Flo looking preeeeeety

 

 

Dory & Flo together

 

 

and just because I couldn't believe how white she was a sneaky one of their sister Sugar..... ta da!!!!

 

 

I am sorry they are a little bit bigger than I intended and photobucket only wants to reresize one of them for some reason only known to itself

[likeastar--x]

Dont worry, the pictures are all working now Your girls are gorgeous. Especially the skyline

[LJ's Chooks]

Our Nova Noir has a white toe nail too... it looks really funny, she's got jet black legs and one white toe nail.... looks like she's had a manicure on one toe!!!

 

Gorgeous girls.... though i dont think i've ever seen one that isn't....

[Cooks]

aww thanks, Yes I have to asmit Flo the skyline has amazing colouring.

 

I have a black rock that wasn't going to pose today I kept getting bottom shots , so I will have to try to add her tomorrow so they are all on here..

[Chickvic]

Lovely pics Cookie

[Cooks]

Is it me or have they filled out in the week I have had them....

 

and also by Dory's face I dont think she will be long before she lays

[Redwing]

I bet you can't wait until they start laying, how are they all getting on?

[Cooks]

No I cant wait, well I can, but dont want to..

 

They are getting along great thanks , they were really nervous at first, very scared, but Dory has allowed me to pick her up now from her position on the top of the eglu run and let me snuggle her some. Flo is still skitty but less so than a week ago so that's coming along and give her time she will improve.

 

They free range with the other two girls at the moment supervised only and there was a few pecks but nothing major, a bit of chasing, but overall nothing I would get too worried about. They are very large girls, larger than my existing two.

 

I am just taking things slow and let them lead me really. They are clearly freeranging in two groups but come together a bit and then seperate again, they can eat together no problem and the older girls will enter the eglu run and walk out again. We're are getting there.

 

edited to add, they have also ALL had their wings clipped

[Ain't Nobody Here]

What lovely girls - fab photos .

[Cooks]

thanks I did try my best, but it was my phone camera and I am a lousy photographer so I wasn't that dissapointed with them..

[Falkor]

well they like him because he has a seperate cosey sleeping area for them to sleep in (nest box)

 

they thought him strange to go to bed the first night, but I popped them in and they haven't looked back since, they even use the super glug after I tapped it a few times.

That`s good then! My three are going under Gordon but yet to venture up the ladder. FIL in building a wooden ladder for them as we speak as he is worried they can`t get up the cube one. I did tell him I don`t want them in there until the WIR is built but

 

So jus Flo and Dory to add and then all sorted........or will you be adding more?

 

U know u want to and u know there is room

[Seagazer]

Fab photos CookieMonster. I have a skyline on my wish list. My friend got one last week and she is absolutely gorgeous.

[Cooks]

no NO more.. just these four girls is totally enough.

 

Re the ladder: If when building you WIR you make the are that your cube stands on lower than the main slabbed area for the WIR this will lower the area for the chickens to hop onto the ladder.

 

That's what hubby did for us as he thought the ladder "a stupid design" sorry omlet he said it was waaaay to far off the floor, so he made sure in the WIR plan that it was lower.

 

It's now really near the floor!

 

Thanks Seagazer, they were just really quick shots, but I think they are ok oooh when is your wish list becoming a reality?

No more? Are you sure?

 

Ur hubby is genius! Not sure if making the cube lower will work in my WIR as will be slabbed not fantabbydozey poured concrete like yours but I have added it to my WIR wish list which will be passed to FIL for consideration

[Cooks]

yes positive about the extra chooks... hubby almost laid an egg himself when he knew I wanted these two.

[Egluntyne]

They are super.

[Cooks]

thanks Egluntine

I keep meaning to ask, are your girls the diddy Orpies or full sized ones? If big'uns, how on earth do they all fit in the eglu?! My 4 almost fill the cube & make a right song & dance about getting up the ladder. I'll try & grab a pic one day before I let them out, is always surprises me how big those featherballs are

CookieMonster - well, got the quote now, just got to finally agree it with OH and Tony has delivery down as first week of April. So if all goes well I could get some beautiful girls sometime after that. I will have to work out whether I split the run in half and use something for the new ones to sleep/roost in or perhaps hire an eglu for a bit.

[Cooks]

well that's great, thats really not that long at all!, they could be a little easter present, how lovely!

Are you definate on a skyline?? Flo's so pretty I just sit gawping at her, she must think "this woman's odd, but she give's me little treats so who's cares"... munch...
