Griffin Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Lovely lacing on the Sebright. She's cute as a button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yay , you finally did it . Up the weird looking chicks . I am assuming that Dave's hen is the Scots Dumpy? Or did he choose the Sebright? A lovely looking bunch. even Drusilla manages to look quite cute and shy on the third photo when she is being held by Ellie.

laurmurf Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Ah shucks, Plum, I knew'd she'd knock you out - speechless in the face of all that beauty! Ellie stayed home poorly, just enough energy to croak 'bring me home some chickens.... i want a sebright' as we left for Temple Newsam. Dave wanted to see how 'his' Dougal Dumpy Bar Steward was getting on there and our lovely Marsh Daisy, Fio too. These girls were a little flock of 3 in their own run - clearly these were our CoFs!

batcatz Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Wow, I thought Drusilla was a turkey or a vulture at first. Amazing chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Lurker Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (hello there! crikey, it's been some time since i've been on here!) i think we can all quite safely agree on the fact that you are most probably clinically insane! so how many chickens is that now? people keep asking for numbers when i start talking chickens and the only reply i have is: *mumbles quietly to self whilst counting on fingers* "ummm.... i'm not really sure!" oh, and get knitting! that's 1 long balaclava you've got to make! (my signature needs fixing now too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting looking chicken you have there! I too thought it was a small vulture I quite like her though. I never knew when I started out in the chicken world quite how many different breeds of chicken there were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Shirl Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Will there ever be a Mr Drusilla joining your clan They are all gorgeous, even though I had to do a double take of the naked neck. Will you ever be able to look at her in the same way now that she has been said to look like an old mans willy. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 DH, who doesn't like "poncey chickens" really likes Drusilla, the vulture chicken! I have to say again, I think she is absolutely fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
