Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

[Woodcat]

I had a browse on the omlet marketplace a few days ago (as you do ) and noticed that there was some one advertising jersey giants amongst other things very near some relatives of mine that i had to go and visit on Monday. So i went just to have a look honest with some money and a couple of boxes in the back of the car and came home with a jersey giant and a Rhode Island Red . I had a spare eglu in the garden that was getting very lonesome.So without further ado here is

 

Lydia

Why is it that chickens must sit on your shoulder they seem to be magnetically drawn there

 

 

and Boadicea

 

Lydia particularly has been really well handled and so is very tame Boadicea on the other hand is incredibly militant and has already attacked everything that moves except Lydia. Needless to say the other chickens are not impressed and the pekins particularly have taken too sitting on top of the eglu shouting at the newbies, i'd forgotten how loud having new chooks is.

 

Finally just cause i finally got it off the camera my christmas tree decoration.

Who needs an angel when you can have a pekin. She'd been brought in to have her feet washed and when i put her down for a second she snuck into the living room and climbed into it when it was half finished. Took me an age to find her

Oh fantastic! A white jersey giant! Cant wait to see her fully grown

Brilliant, good for you!

They are lovely, especially the pekin in a christmas tree I like how you just happened to have boxes with you when you went to have a look.

I like the look of Boadicea. Very pretty !

[Daphne]

Glad you did this - would love to follow Lydia's progress! Boudicea has a lovely depth of colour to her and I'd like to know how well she lays, particularly through the fallow Oct-Dec period. What a lovely pair of birds you've found

Thanks, i'm biased but i think they are gorgeous. I have to say the guy i got them off was brilliant, georgous range of birds with a lot more space than i've seen some people give them. He was also quite happy to show me the parents of the birds and generally give me a tour. It was really hard to only come back with two. The Rhode Island is crouching though not for me she was in with a cockerel and he was definitely treading her so i'm hoping for some eggs soon Lydia is alot younger than her but certainly not that much smaller it will be interesting to see how big she gets

They are lovely, guess Lydia is quite a baby

[quickcluck]

Do they all live together or in separate houses???? Yr JG looks fantastic....

[Woodcat]

lol i need to rearrange my signature at the moment everyone expect the two newbies live in one walk in run with attached house and the newbies are in my eglu. Thank you

[Redwing]

[sparkysmum]

[jellykelly]

Just how large do Jersey giants get??

 

They're very pretty - lovely

[Valkyrie]

Lovely girlies. I do like the festive pekin too.

[dancing cloud]

They're gorgeous!

 

Amazing how we all go "for a look" with cash and carriers - almost as if we were going prepared

Just how large do Jersey giants get??

 

The white don't get as big as the black but her mother was about the same size as an Orpington but where the Orpingtons have a lot of fluff which makes them deceptivly big the jerseys are just big.

 

and thank you for the lovely comments
