lindsey Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi, We have had our chickens for a week now. Does anyone else have a white gingernut ranger? Our Bubbles is one of these as opposed to being a red gingernut ranger. She seems very confident, and has taken to chasing us around the garden demanding treats! George, the red one, seems far more laid back. How do you get the cheickens to stop pecking you? Does anyone is the Wainscott area of Strood know of anywhere to buy the organic food locally? Look forward to hearing from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to hearing from you The Omlet Guy said our Sussex Star (white) is essentiall the same chicken as a Gingernut Ranger, because the parents are from the same breed of chicken as the GNR's... Apparentl is male is type A and female is type B, you get a red chicken but if you reverse that and male is type B and female is type A, they come out white - or so he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Dur ! I read this posting a couple of days ago.... and thought Strood, Gloucestershire, not Medway. How stupid am I I use the Glovers at Hartley Bottom Farm in Longfield as well, and they are very good Maybe if there are several of us requesting Organic feed from there they might me persuaded to keep it in stock instead of the order in thing. (Sometimes I run out quicker than I expect and having to buy non-organic Allen & Page instead..... which kinds of makes a nonsense of bothering with organic all together really I'd guess.... but then as a family we mix organic and non-organic foods- same for the hens I guess Good luck with finding a good supplier.... otherwise I might end up bumping into you in Hartley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
