Cooks Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 thanks Cloots, I have to say I was expecting them to be a different colour when talking to the breeder on the phone so I said to Em I wasn't sure... then we saw the adult of how they grow up and wow! These will grow into little stunners I DID want to call my next chicken 'Fraggle' but neither of them suited the name so, my Oldest Son named Bumble, last night ebfore we even got her! (as Sugar who died was his chicken) and I named Pepsi on the way home to Em's today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 thanks I was determined to get some at some point and well with the loss of my girl the garden seemed very empty so now was a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 I better add that the girls are segregated from the older girls, hubby split the WIR in half with link fencing for the weeks ahead that they need to be seperate. The older girls get loads of freerange time so they will be fine with half what they are used to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 What are the newbies sleeping in.........being nosy as I am ?! Sha x they have a covered cat box for now as they are weeney, but hubby will make them their own hen house as they grow, until they are ready to intregrate with the others and then go into the cube. (the pictures make them look a little bigger than they are actually They are safe and sound in their own wing of the WIR. Thanks all Yes Suzi is a little terror and hasn't realised she is no longer a pup at 1 year old I have to say I am so pleased Em came with me, she has much more experience of what orps look like at this stage than I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as Sugar who died was his chicken) and I named Pepsi on the way home to Em's today if you're looking for a chicken which you can name fraggle i think a frazzle would be perfect they have the hair for it see what i mean!
