alij Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Someone did say that Joyce might be a Braekel, but I can't find much about them anywhere. I'm trying to talk hubby into a Jersey Giant at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alij Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thank you Chelsea..that's really made my day These are my first girls after a false start with 2 Orpingtons which turned out to be boys...so I'm not too sure what I'm doing. Margot has just started laying and her eggs are huuuuuuuuuuuge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alij Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Em Yes really close about 5 mins from St Neots. It's not so much the buying of the Jersey Giant, blue splash is my fave at the mo, but the fact I've mentioned bigger housing etc.... We're already looking to buy a smallholding somewhere and it only started as a couple of chooks for the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Lovely! Gloria is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Joyce looks to me like a Goldtop (silkie x sussex) and Tallulah is a lovely red Araucana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alij Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks Tom I've got some Silke cross Orpingtons in my inccy at the moment that my friend gave me. Not sure how successful they'll be. Em..good idea about the land I'd love some boys too. Would have loved to keep my Orpie boys but alas... Victoria, now Victor Emily, now Ernest They've gone to be part of Jay Spencer's breeding and show programme...hopefully some little choccy orps in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I think they're all stunning . I've never seen such a red comb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henhathnofury Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 They are really beautiful; I love their inquisitive faces. Some of us on this forum will have to get together for an addicted to the idea of getting a Jersey Giant meeting. Non chicken people are most odd....how can they not see the beauty? We need to go forth and spread the word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 They're all fabulous. Love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 They are all stunning, but your naked neck is particularly striking, and I think rather glamorous looking, whith that beautiful floppy comb and dark black head feathers constrasting with that fabulously red naked neck. Magnificient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm a Bianca fan Does she talk to herself? My Faverolle gives a running commentary every single day She has a very quiet voice and she mumbles along to herself all the time, it's very sweet really.

alij Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi Griffin Yes she does...literally all day long, but she is in her complete little world. She bumbles along chatting to herself and then suddenly sprints down the garden towards absolutely nothing. I must admit she holds a real place in my heart, but boy is she stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ahhhh lovely piccies. I rather fancy Bianca - something about dippiness - and she's a pretty girl too. Like the orpie boys too - striking feathers. Did someone mention Jersey Giant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CluckyBucks Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 All of them are utterly gorgeous, including your dogs xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am envious of all the lovely photos - every time I try to take some mine just run away. I have lots of distant ones, but very few close-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
