Valkyrie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It's snowing feathers here! We have them dangling from the guttering on the greenhouse. I am hoping none has gone next door. Well well well I didn't see that coming at all! Oh I love the Spitbottoms (well that's what I call them anyway) - it's the funky hairdo. And since I've had this month's Smallholding magazine, my mum has been ooohing and aaahing at the silkies. What pretty girlies. Glad you had a safe journey home Palmer07 with your new additions and good day had by all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 What did you buy Em? Well.....I purchased Debs cube run, some layers pellets and some growers mash ooooh...do you mean what chickens did I buy? Introducing: Tia and Maria The pictures are from the breeder...will get some more tomorrow. I thought they were bantams but when we got there I realised they were LF....but they were TOO cute to leave behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 They will go so beautifully with your other girls Em Glad you are back safe & well Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Maria is an unusual colour isnt she? very pretty, both of them - is your chook family complete yet? How old are they? Maria has quite a big comb........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Thanks for all the kind comments, I am very pleased with my new additions Of course it was a complete co-incidence I had made the run extension I only went to the breeder to keep Em company Tasha - I think Maria is about 26-30 weeks old, so they are not very young.

Falkor Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Maria is an unusual colour isnt she? very pretty, both of them - is your chook family complete yet? How old are they? Maria has quite a big comb........ These are birthday present from OH (not that he knows yet ) and yes, chooky family is complete. WIR is now at capacity less one and the bantams are to put it politey....little tinkers Still have a few on the wishlist but need to win the lottery and move first! They are 30 weeks...and yes ...I was thinking the same thing about Marias comb earlier but there are no wattles to speak of and she has the stupid girly tail. The breeder said she is a blue silkie but I have never seen that kind of blue...she is brownish....but still pretty!

batcatz Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ahh, lovely silkies! So cute. I am very envious of your beautiful Appenzeller! I saw some last week and have decided that I will have to own one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 My Appenzeller is so pretty and graceful - they are such lovely perky birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Such pretty fluffies. Sioux's feathers are very smokey grey when they come through new, but they start to go brown as they age - apart from the pantaloons and they seem to fade to pale grey/white - very similar to Marias, so her brown feathers sound like older ones - just in time for a moult perhaps?
