Martin B Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 So glad she is ok! Have you let Omlet know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 No, I didn't tell them because it's not so much a design fault as down to a very small, dim hen I might mention it though next time I am over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 If it says the eglu is suitable for bantams and this happens it should be worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 True, but Lucille is tinier than any other bantam - Dutch banties are about the smallest you can get - smaller than a pigeon. I will mention it to James though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 No, she's not - that's Lily. Lucille is a very small speckled one.... What a beautiful picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will mention it to James though. Yup he is a tidger, it was very funny to see Dolly and Lucille next to each other. How is Betty getting on with the other girls?

The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Betty seems to have settled in fine and is nearly as big as the Wyandottes now. She's a pretty bird, but needs more handling to make her tamer, shame the weather's not better or I'd spend more time outside with them.
