Cinnamon Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 This morning we decided to fill the gap left by dear little Humbug with a new Bantam hen or 2 So, off we went to a lady who was advertising in the Free Ads,to look at some silkies & Auracanas - which we were very disappointed with. They were sadly very pecked,& not very pretty looking hens,so we decided that they were not for us. However,all is not lost. The Garden Hen in Windsor have gold silkies & one white poland,as well as Welsummers & Wyandottes, so we are going there this afternoon. Keep you fingers crossed,everyone!

Nicola H Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Oh very cute Treacle still looks like a baby all fluffy............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Treacle is very sweet & fluffy, but she now has a smattering of baldy patches thanks to the Pekins I am keeping a close eye, & there are lots of escape areas in the pen for the new girls, but its never easy to watch, is it?
