Poached Egg Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 We have fingers crossed for a mix of egg colours from our new girls. Went out for 2 new chooks yesterday (according to OH) and came home with four (I'm blaming you lot for my uncharacteristic alternative plan!) The older girls - needless to say - are somewhat miffed and appear to be organising a campaign Heidi (hope for darker brown/speckled eggs) - best at ducking out of photos see what I can do Clara (brown/pinky blush eggs) also a bit of a blouse along with Skye Snowy (white eggs) who scooted straight into the waiting cube finally emerges Skye (fingers and toes crossed for blue eggs ) is a bit of a wuss - had to be encouraged/helped up the ladder All four - just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 @ the ruffled neck! Just like in the first Jurassic Park film! Have to say I do rather like Heidi! But they are all lovely and thanks for the piccies - and the old girls plotting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poached Egg Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Bunnyish - Don't think I'd quite claim blue for Skye's ears but so far off-white of some sort. However Snowy has pale pearlescent blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
