tidygirlsuk Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Lovely photos Only a guess but I think the first picture is a boy only because he has a lot of colours and patterns. I'm no expert. Has number 7 as you call it got a blue shade on its beak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either a Frizzle or a Chaucer bantam? although i'm hoping its a Frizzle! no-one seems to know what a chaucer bantam is so were all waiting to see what they turn out like I'm going to post weekly pictures so watch this space!

teri Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Love the frizzles!!! they are my favorite too. I spotted the breed on this site when looking for ideas for an interesting chicken and fell in love with them. I was lucky enough to buy the only six live eggs from a local farmers auction and am really pleased that i have two that are definatley going to be frizzeled! not all frizzles have curled feathers and can be smooth. it's all down to genetics! I'm hoping to start breeding them but its early days as I've only had chickens for about six months and this is my first hatch. I am continually learning new things about chickens to bore my hubby with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I love frizzles They don't seem to lay many eggs though We had a trio at the farm who would very rarely lay an egg, and I only remember 1 hatching, I don't know what happened to it but there was something wrong with its neck and although we tried to look after it it had to be culled at just a few hours old.

teri Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 I am loving grandad Roy its realy sweet. closest to mum all the time but loves a cuddle from my kids as well. I think its possibly another boy but hoping its a girl because I don't think I could part with it! in fact I don't think i can part with any of them and theres no way i could eat one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
