I think you two must have gone together. They are beautiful

[ISCA]

Pepsi and Shirley...very Wham!

They look great. How old are they?

[karena]

I like the way they have lined up for the photo

[Space Chick]

Beautiful

[squidsin]

Lovely! Are they your first lot (like me) or are you an old hand at this chicken keeping malarkey?

 

I've got the green Eglu too - wonder if that is the most popular one?

[Tutti Frutti]

Aww lovely lovely lovely, fantastic choices and beautiful names!

[chick wiggle]

[Chicken Shirl]

What lovely Girlies, what breed is the one nearest the camera ?

Thanks for all the nice responses

 

Wham? Is that where the names are from? He found a couple of chickens when he was a kid and that what they were called so he used the names again

 

They are ranging from about 17 to 19 weeks, sold as POL but no eggs yet.

 

They line up to preen themselves before bed but it still took ages to get all their heads up, should have heard some of the noises i was making to get their attention

 

They are my first lot. They are great! I didn't think i'd get so attached but they are such little personalities.

 

Pepsi looks at you and you know she has you sussed, she just wants to be involved in everything! Shirley is shy and gentle but still likes to investigate. Penelope is like a bull in a china and lets the others check it out first and then marches over to take control

 

I think the green Eglu is the most popular - it has the most reviews anyway It blends a little better in the garden i think.

 

The chicken closest to the camera, Penelope, is a hybrid. She is a Crestie from Merrydale Poultry. The photo doesn't really do her justice - she has a grey/beige body and then a golden blonde neck. Should see her in the sun

I'm loving Penelope's hairdo.....

 

Super girls....it's great how they each have a distinct personality...I wouldn't have believed it before I kept chickens myself..that's a very small brain they have but they don't half use it well!!(mostly!)

[jennydavies]

I love the hairdo too - it's sort of semi-mohican
