teri Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 thought you might like to see how my seven chicks have prgressed over the last few months! this is Fuzz at 1 week, 3 weeks about 10 weeks and today next charlie then Fizz Lola, aka. Hairdo Chick Grandad Roy Racing Stripes and finally Number Seven! haven't they grown! they are now sharing a WIR with my big girls but are syill going to bed in a seperate hutch which is in the run. it will stay in there as long as they are using it I am hoping that they will move into the big coop by themselves when they are ready. here they are all together hope you enjoyed the flash back! (you wouldn,t believe how long it has just taken me to put this lot on...don't you just love photobucket ) Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 fabulous Great to see them all growing up over the last four months. Wonderful looking flock you have there, congratulations. Can't believe how much your frizzles have changed, particularly the colours. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 i think Fuzz has made the biggest transformation he is the most gorgeous golden red colour and has become quite handsome at last, although i still think your liquorish wins in the looks department! he is simply divine teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Mazzy - are you getting confused with my Spongebob? Those are absolutely stunning chickettes! I adore your frizzles & also love the black & gold coloured ones too. Simply beautiful. Very well done on raising such strong lovely birds!

Emma.x Sponge bob is my daughters dressing gown! he's a huge favorite in our house! the black and gold chicks are Chaucer Bantams. I had a hard time finding out what they actually were as no-one knew at the farmers market auction...hense 80p for half a dozen I think it was tom who eventually found a picture for me! luckily i have one of each so hoping to breed off them next spring....so i will probably have a few spare eggs if you're interested... !

Driving Buffie to distraction I think, bless their little hearts ! I must get a pic & post it, they have stopped changing so radically overnight now, just getting bigger!! And Buffie is still feeding the little monsters rather than herself.....I go in there just once a day now with a pot of mealworms or tuna & sweetcorn & feed her on my lap so I know she gets something...mind you the little yellow legged boy is a cheeky tinker & has started jumping up to steal mum's food and she lets him I wonder when she will start losing interest in them, at risk of sounding harsh, I hope it's sooner rather than later so she actually starts to put some weight back on I've put a cage cup of "chick" corn in the run for her to eat and the babies are now tall enough to either snaffle it on tippytoes or climb on another cage cup & shovel it up in big beakfuls like that..........I'm fighting a losing battle with that I fear And as for photobucket, I've found sometimes that I post the thread here in utter desperation with apologies to the mods for oversized pics..........and the blasted things are the right size afterall, despite showing as whoppers when I've submitted them but the right size on PB.........errrr can you explain that Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of re-sizing, rather than letting photo-bucket do it (or not, as the case may be!), I'd recommend making a copy of the photo on your PC/Laptop and then reducing its size before you upload to photo-bucket. I wrote some step-by-step instructions here (go down to the third post in the thread). Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 hi sha i know what you mean about over interested moms. beauty was clucking over them for almost 12 weeks...i know where the term mother hen comes from now!!! two weeks after giving up on them and she is clamped to the nest and stealing every egg she can get her beak on!!! at least i know i'll have a good broody for a few hatches next spring as i'm hoping to breed the chaucers and the frizzles as i have a pair of each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks Andrew, I've just got to grips with getting the pics onto PB......and DH has announced he has a programme on the computer which does it all almost automatically & instantly......maybe I'll have to ask him to demonstrate again & take more notice Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
