Redwing Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurmurf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 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.
