Griffin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 This afternoon I've shifted them all out of the garage and they're now on the grass. They're not fully feathered yet but they'll not get cold in this weather! If you thought the Silkies yesterday were ugly, brace yourself for this monstrosity...... Is it a baby blue Orp or a baby turkey??????? He's called Dino, which is short for dinosaur because I swear he's part dinosaur His partner in crime, a slightly more feathered up black Orp, probably a boy too: A Silver Grey Dorking lad And another hiding behind Dustin Hoffman the Poland: Little & Large Dustin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Aww - they're still cute. They remind me of teenagers - when they reach that gangly stage and don't seem to have any control over their limbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ's Chooks Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 They are very cute... I was worried that one of our orp chicks was a boy, but I dont think im worried anymore, maybe she's getting ready to lay!!! She is about 14 weeks old and has a comb about the size of Dino's and suddenly got long droopy lobes, I was getting worried and listening out for Mocha's first crow (we were going to re name her cocha ) they sure do get biig quickly, but they are the most gorgeous chooks, the 'cute' bit doesnt last and they become beautiful very quickly!
