Chicken picking at feet

[alij]

I've had my 5 new girls for almost a week now and thought I would try letting the two biggest into the garden...complete with dogs

As you can hopefully see it went much better than expected

I can't see them, it comes up Forbidden!

[Biker Chick]

What lovely girls, and dogs too

[alij]

I've tried using Photobucket this time

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully that's worked!!! I'll try and add a couple of pics of my little naked necks later!!

[Chickvic]

Yay! I can see them now, lovely pics

[tom123]

They're lovely! Are they gold laced orps did you say? I think they might be crosses like cookies. ???

Oooh Lovely ladies........Gold laced orps are gorgeous....how old are they?

 

Dogs are lovely too!

[tom123]

Found a pic of a gold laced orp...

 

 

I think you have been a sold a cross Lovely though!

[alij]

Do be honest I've only assumed they are Gold Laced Orps through looking through a book!!!

 

They are 14 weeks old and my hubby collected them when he collected my Transylvanian Naked Neck chicks and the guy let him have them as they were the last 2 left.

 

Being novices to this chicken keeping business he felt too silly to ask what they were!!! We are picking up 2 Araucana from him in a couple of weeks time so I'll ask then. They are totally unfazed by anything and eat for England!! !

[Falkor]

Tom, remember that Orps are slow to develop....my splash Orp had no black/grey on her at 10 weeks and Jubilee was plain brown and now SO pretty with brown, white and black markings...the feathering takes a while to come out.

[tom123]

Very true but even mine at 2 weeks old have a little lacing on their wings. Here is a young one...

 

 

Araucanas are lovely

 

Good Luck

Hi Chicken Licken

 

They are lovely girls aren't they and incredibly friendly. They came from Jay's at Archies Little Gems in Buckden, St Neots. He is keeping some Araucanas for me for when my Eglu comes.

 

I've also got 3 Transylvanian Naked Necks from him, which I'm trying to get a decent photo of
