Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well here they are my cheeky little batties, absolutely gorgeous, still a bit patchy on the feather front & very skittish, but full of character and fairly reliable layers - if they are bit odd in the shape & texture of the shell ! They are Peanut on the left, Hazel in the middle then Lily turning away a bit and Buttercup is the paler brown chook to the right and Bluebell disappearing out of the front of the frame! Peanut is almost fully feathered and although she is a fair bit darker than Buttercup, they are very easy to get muddled if you don't look closely! Lily (pink leg ring) has a patch of feathers missing on her right(?) shoulder and Hazel (blue leg ring) has a patch missing at the base of her tail although they are slowly filling in the gaps. The batties have all decided that my toes are very slug/worm-like.... Peanut had just taken a peck at my squidged up toes....ouch This is how the batties started out their life with us.... What a difference a couple of months and bucket loads of love and attention can make. Tulip is much missed and spoken of often. Sometimes when I'm counting the chooks into the run, I still look for the missing little one Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 They look fantastic. Well done. You only make the mistake of wearing flip flops and painted nails near hens the once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
