Olly Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Gosh I'm drooling at the sight of those feathers, I like the Wyandottes but that Orp looks like a teddy-bear! They look lovely. Isn't it amazing how they've grown so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Gorgeous Mark and no cockerals See your grass has grown as well. Well, no more cockerals Coco has been rehomed. Grass, not so much....garden looks a bit like a dust bowl and all the foliage you see are actually weeds, haven't been around much to be able to maintain the garden and it looks a bit like an abandoned lot.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 What lovely girls Mark...I understand that Orpies are late to lay though, so don't be too upset if she doesn't give you any presents for a while, no idea about the SLW though, so they may come through soon .

Eggquisite Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Super looking chucks... Orpies, they are lovely ! May be next on our list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Just to report....one of the girls layed her first egg this morning but because I haven't started feeding layers yet (still on growers) it was a softy and was destroyed. At least it was in the nest box though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Get some layers quick-smart Mark and some oyster shell/flint to improve their shells. Congrats on the first egg though Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
