dame egna Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I haven't been on here for a while, in fact I think my chicks were about 6 weeks old when I last posted, they are now 13 weeks! I hace 4 cream crested legbar chicks, that all looked liked females anyhow when we got them at a day old. However, one of them this morning made a sound (twice) like a cockerel in practice - am I just hearing things, or could she just be finding her voice? I didn't thnk you could go wrong with cream legbars being an auto sexing breed??? To me they don't look a lot different, apart from one is more yellow than the others (and that one makes a more trumpety noise as opposed to tweeting that the others do ) Then..... And now! This is of three.... And the other one... And some other shots.... Please tell me I'm worrying about nothing!!!!

dame egna Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi Dawno - I got my first lot of chickens from Harepathstead poultry in Exeter. I would most definitely recommend them as they are very helpful and friendly, and their chickens are lovely too. We got 8 from them, here's their web addy: http://www.harepathsteadpoultry.co.uk/tb.html Our chicks came from Trickeys Farm just outside of Collumpton. Web addy: http://www.pippineggs.co.uk/index.html Forgot to say, the Devon Rocks are the black ones to the left. They have a lovely green shimmer to their feathers and lovely big eyes They don't have much of a comb and their tail is more 'sticky uppy' (I'm sure their is a technical term for that lol) than the others. Very pretty birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
