[Cooks]

[Yolky]

I say 2 dozen eggies (half for incy and half for broody) and there is bound to be a pair or two that catch you eye lol!!

 

Can I ask, exactly how big is your garden Tasha

[bigmommasally]

I think one of each of every breed they've got!

[quickcluck]

I agree with Sally and a couple extra just in case

[Lewis]

6 LF eggs, 6 Bantam eggs, maybe a few freebies

 

... and 2 hens that looked sad so you rescued them

Yolky was nearest

 

we bought:

 

1 x buff frizzle Pekin 4 week old chick

 

1 x beautiful salmon Faverolle grower

 

6 x dark brown marans eggs

 

12 x Arucana eggs from lavender, black & red and cuckoo (?) hens (the eggs are blue)

 

We put the chick straight in with ours of the same age as it seems tough enough, it is terrorising them as we speak, it leapt out of its box on the way home and we had to search the car for it so its quite lively

 

With the Pekin hen we picked up yesterday I think that brings us up to 20 chooks

[Space Chick]

20

 

Gosh Tasha, you'll be needing to register with DEFRA before you know it

[laurmurf]

20....

 

HAH, Tasha - you're a lightweight

 

My count is now 17 including the chicks (and I've got another 8 fertile eggs under Willow) so I think i've got 25

yes... I do realise I'm counting my chickens before they're hatched

Salmon Fav - yet to be named

 

 

Frizzle Pekin chick - Screech (named by hubby)

 

 

Gold Partridge Pekin collected yesterday - Amber

 

[laurmurf]

oh my goodness.... AMBER is to die for!

 

i was never keen on pekins before.... hmmm, feel the need to increase the flock (this isn't a competition, no, not at all )

 

 

ps - Tasha, we joined Omlet in days of each other and I remember you getting Dave and him living in your front room before you moved. What a journey it's been, eh? What did we do with our time BC (before chickens? )

[Scramble]

[ClaireG]
