Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Like them she says....what's not to like I want to know....they are gorgeous .....are they as snuggly as they look, mine aren't , Buffie's the only one who lets me near enough to grab her for a cuddle, the others all scream like banshees Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 These are getting better but best to pick them up when they have gone for a drink or food in the WIR but when you put them down again they dont want you to leave them if you know what I mean. shocking behaviour. Thanks I love all my girls but the orpies are just simply scrumptious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Wow Lyns...haven`t they grown....I remember when we collected them and they were runty stragely looking teens....I am so glad I talked some sense into you!!! They are stunning!!! They look almost blue laced Come on light evenings......I need to see these ladies in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 yes their Auntie Em did a good job making me see sense. Yes come over for a barbeque when it gets warmer again and then you can spend time giving them squishes.. The lady did say they had blue in them...

Cooks Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Bumble is beautiful !Am I right in thinking one of these orpies would not fit into an eglu [ in a big WIR ] ?? Not that I am suggesting hijacking any of yours : well I wouldn't personally have my orpies in an eglu as they are quite big girls and feel that I would want them to have a bit more space, but there are others on here that might have other advice. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww MyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyGoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

Cooks Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 thanks Kate I have to admit it wasn't love at first sight for me when they were 12 weeks old scraggly things I thought.. it was Em that conviced me I had to see past that. I love them to bits now even if they do eat me out of house and home, greedy guts. They certainly have changed a lot looking back over the photos..

Valkyrie Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Pretty girlies Cooks. I do rather like Bumble though. Thankies for the updates. I've only taken piccies through the window - not very good though, waiting for a nicer day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
