Redwing Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Its too hot to work in the garden so I have made the executive decision that we will go to Wernlas and pick up the hen we have reserved (she is ready now but we were due to go next weekend) I am taking carrying cases for four just in case she wants to spread out a bit......

Redwing Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Sorry, I was photobucketing! Wernlas is a really good place for a visit, I could have bought them all home Here they are (notice the 'they' Pippa the Appenzeller (already laying white eggs ) Jean the Wenlas Olive (only 9 weeks old but will lay olive coloured eggs) Anita the Gold Legbar (also 9 weeks and will lay white eggs) Pippa has her own section of the big run and the plan was to put the two smallies in with our own 9 week old chicks however there was quite a size difference so they have gone in with the Pekins short term until another house can be built for them. Lots of over the fence skwarking from the big pen but love and hugs in the Pekin pen with all four piling up together in the sun *phew* edited for typo Edited May 31, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 You lucky girl! Many people will be green with envy over your olive I think they may well be having a run on those at the wernlas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Redwing, they're gorgeous!! Lovely that the little newbies are settling in beautifully with the Pekins! Sorry for the hijack but what I'm dying to know is will my Olive look the same? Did they all look exactly alike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yes, sort of a dark coloured legbar, like a cream one with lowlights not highlights They all had top knots but some more pronounced than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 GNNNNNNNN! *shoves fist in mouth and chews on it in excitement* I can't wait now!! A chicken with a hairdo!! Lovely to have a mix - like the others I think Pippa is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Pippa looks lovely - it would be a waste of a trip to go there and only get one hen wouldn't it . Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
