brambles Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 So I went to Ludlow for the night with 7 mates for a friend's 40th and had a lovely time staying in her mum's holiday cottage. Couldn't say how the cat box fell into the back of the car. I have ... a dear little 14 week old cream legbar (Tiggy) and a honking great 14 week old partridge cochin (Rasputia) who sounds like the horn section of the Royal Philharmonic. The girls think the eglu is wonderful and love scratching in real soil. They've even put themselves to bed and are cuddled up on the roosting bars.

brambles Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 currently on my mobile, but I'll take a few in the morning to post. I was remarkably restrained as I wanted to scoop a bootful of bantams to take home too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brambles Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 They seem to be settling well and have been furtling, eating and drinking. The big girls are curious but can't get near them as they're in a fenced off area of the veg garden inside their eglu run. I went out to take photos and the little dears have retired to the eglu for an afternoon rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brambles Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) behave, or I'll bite you on the bum! I am a buzzard really - hope they've not spotted it! Look out! It's a huge one.

fluffyknickers Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 WOW they are amazing! i keep looking at my plain old and and thinking hmmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambles Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 More dustbathing has been done and they have had a visitation from Wiggy, who'd flown over the chicken netting to have a look. Have noticed that Tiggy, the little legbar, has got hole punches between her toes on both feet. I seem to remember that this is a way of discriminating between them in the flock - am I hallucinating?

Space Chick Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My Wernlas girls also had the hole punches, I don't know why though, so would be interested to find out Your babies are beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My girls have the punch holes too. I got a gold laced wyandotte & a gold legbar last year. I also hatched a Cobar & Partridge cochin, from eggs bought from there (both were cockerels). We kept the cochin & rehomed the Cobar.The wyandotte is now mummy to 2 beautiful girls fathered by the Cochin. They are stunners! I am amazed at what I got from the Cochin (partridge) & the gold laced wyandotte. She is like a golden double laced wyandotte. The other baby is like a buff colour with fluffy feet. You get quality chooks from Wernlas without doubt. I went to ring them today - I want 2 POL silkie girls. I then remembered they are closed on Mondays. grrrrr. There is always tomorrow. P.S think the punch holes are something to do with the age group pens they are in when young & the fact they are from Wernlas, should you show them. But I could be wrong.
