atsw Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well, the chicks have turned 10 this weekend. All are doing very well. They had to cope with the sad loss of their mother last weekend, who suffered a prolapse which was beyond repair, but they have come through that trauma and are now fully integrated with the two remaining big girls. Liquorish did his first crow the morning after we said goodbye to Di. It's a great little cock-a-doodle-doo! So, here they all are enjoying the August sunshine.

Patricia W Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Andrew So very sorry to hear about Di. It must have been very traumatic. She was an excellent mother and the chicks are a great credit to her care. I hope the children weren't too upset. The chicks are divine! How many are you keeping?

atsw Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 The chicks are divine! How many are you keeping? Yes, they are great fun to watch, we spent all weekend following their antics in the garden! We're keeping Liquorish (the black frizzle cockerel) and the three girls. The remaining three boys have good homes awaiting them, which includes an offer from a fellow Omleteer. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Great you're keeping Liquorish. Maybe you can hatch more eggs next year? And maybe he can call to my Phillip across the fields! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The slide show is wonderful - a bit like watching time-lapse photography! Liquorish looked like a little feather duster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
