alih Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Your course looks absolutely FAB - if you have the contact details I would appreciate them - seemed to have totally missed the thread! I would hesitate much less about hatching if I knew how to dispatch and prep the boys for the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 errr... yes! Many thanks, will check it out. May even persuade OH to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Like others have said; I cant believe |Ive missed this thread!! Congratulations Egluntine. Wonderfull little fluff balls. And how they grow! So hope you've got a girl there. I was wondering what was happening with your hatching. Did you get cream legbar eggs from Raw Green Cottages? I understand she hasn't had any luck hatching them herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 I didn't in the end.....I seem to remember that her cockerel had dropped dead out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh dear! That would explain why she's had trouble hatching me a couple of cream legbars then!! (Would it be inappropriate to make a joke about the "blue" bit??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 First day in the big outdoors. (they will come in at night for another week or so) No doubt about Anton's gender now. Look at those wattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Is that a whole inch? Bless them. Little darlings. Will it be difficult to introduce her to the flock on her own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've added one to the gang before. It just takes a little more care.....and I'll be doing it again shortly, when Dolly Arrives. Not entirely convinced that Claudia isn't in fact Claude, or should that be 'Clawed' as Him Indoors wryly observed this afternoon. If she is Claudia, I have a fancy to get a Maran or a Speckledy or both to mix her with, before merging them with the flock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I noticed that little 'or both' lololololol I cant argue with those choices at all, I so hope she isn't a he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Brilliant news about Claudia. They shoot up so quickly, my LS cockerel is 13 weeks old and almost the same size as my hybrids. I swear he puts his feet in a grow bag at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Wow, how they have grown I was just thinking about your chicks Egluntine, as they are only a couple of days younger than mine, so I'm pleased to see your update. My boys are also sporting face furniture, whilst the two girls' comb and wattles are only just visible, so, like you I am pretty sure what's what now They both look splendid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
