Space Chick Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Don't blame you too Its a glorious day, and I feel like cat napping all day, I don't feel motivated to do anything productive (although I am quite tired after a few busy days, and must take it easy) Henry is already aware of Erics situation and sent him some sympathy dog biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Which Eric devoured in a nano second. I'm pleased to see that his lack of wheels at the back hasn't stopped him from dragging his little old self along the carpet, back legs trailing behind Really, and with visitors here too *must buy more Sudocrem* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Lewis may have found some Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons or some frizzle hens for sale They're available, but now I'd have to decide which to go for and then convince the parentals it'd be a good idea. Dad saw some Buff Orpingtons at the farm and really liked them, and even said he'd like to get some, so I know what he'll say Not sure if they'd be too big for the others and the eglu though? They're 9 or 10 weeks old I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Debs thinks Lewis should get the frizzles because they are really cute. Debs also suspects that Lewis' habit of talking in the 3rd person is catching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 get Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons, just because I like the name. I have no idea what they look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 The frizzles: The lemon cuckoo orpingtons: I hope they don't mind me posting the photos They're from 2 different breeders in different directions so I can't get both. They're both a couple of weeks older than mine, I suppose the frizzles being smaller would be more practical to do introductions with as they're smaller and there won't be too much of a size difference.

Scramble Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 The orpingtons are lovely, but that white and black frizzle...I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ok after seeing the pics I say Frizzles, cos they look funnier. My dad just brought Danny home from gymnastics and he said the instructor asked Dan what he likes best about school, Danny replied 'school dinners'. She then asked what do you like best about school dinners. Daniel's reply? Eating them! At least I know he's enjoying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 He has 4 of them left but I don't know which 4, I emailed him about the black and white one - I like her too JJ Dad just said I have to sell the cockerels before I get the new hens because otherwise I'll just want to keep them all If we sell them then the single hen we have would be on her own, which is why I'm getting these new ones first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 If you choose the frizzles, I hope you don't have a pine tree in the garden - they could blend in well with the pine cones when it comes to rounding them up for bedtime! Oh I love Orpies whatever the colour (the DTB has Lemon Brahmas now - ahhhhhh). Cheyenne didn't get very big, but I think if she lasted till the following year she would have puffed out a lot more. At Chalk Hill they had loads of buffs in a pen and we asked if they were bantams. No, they were point of lay and would get larger as they got older. I don't think they will get as big as my other Orpies though. I wonder what gene pool the lemonies come from. Well I haven't done the last of my chores and I haven't snoozed either. I thought I was supposed to go to a friend's last night, but I was told it was lunch instead today, so we spent a while with her (DD came too - mainly to play with the Old English Sheepdog). We had to come home early because of a driving lesson. So, finished the hoovering, bunged all DD's rubbish laying around into the dining room and shut the door. I'm not doing that because there is already so much of her stuff in there and it really bugs me. Mutter mutter whinge whinge. Oi think oi'll make her walk the plank me hearties - harrrrr (still practicing). DD tried her hardest to say something piratey. It was a perfect Staffordshire accent (copied to a t as an old friend was from Stafford). I said "shame on you Wessex girl - it should be the way you talk anyway!" Danny sounds like me. Your dad sounds like me too - the cockerel has to go if you want more DD. So she is looking forward to having a Sioux Mini Me next year, and some other banties so she can call them more daft names - one sounds like Boofy - which is what she says when she squidges their fluffy bums (not sure if it is Boofy, Boopy or Boofboof, but not far off ).

Like no, no, no. Or after - look all gone! Sioux's gone off grapes - probably because the others made her life a misery chasing her and then they pinched them off her. She sulks now when the grapes come out. Both pics are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nor me. I think I'll have an 'early' night tonight. I'm meant to be taking the chicks and to school tomorrow night, but today after school the teacher said he only wants me to take 1 chick in because 'it'll be a busy room for too many chicks' I might take 2 in so they aren't lonely, and might have to use a pet carrier, unless the other 3 go to sleep in the pet carrier in the garage and the goes to school Lewis is still on a misson to re-home these cockerels and get some more hens. I've found one person who may take a cockerel or two, and he has a couple of bantams for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hope you do manage to re-home them Lewis. You definitely have to take 2 in, you can't just take one, what was your teacher thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
