The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Now that's a cunning plan if I ever heard one Shona....... Can you resist it Chooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Go on Dear, you know you want to........ Little, fluffy, cheeping chickies...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ha Ha, look what I've started! Shona, you are more than welcome to have a Cream Legbar - or 2!. Also bear in mind that in 3 weeks time I will (hopefully!) have Buff Orps, Welsummers and Silver Laced Wyandottes - you could have them as day-olds and pop them under a lamp - the wee ones would love it! Tempted?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I lurve my Ruby, she's stunning and has a lovely temperament - not as nutty as the pekins, just placid and friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ruby looks lovely Clare - I love the colouring and markings of the laced and pencilled Wyandottes. I've read they are friendly birds so hopefuly I'll get a couple of girls to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 They are lovely Fee, they aren't as individual (or as mad) as say the pekins, but they really are lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Not at all.........I'll wait till he gets in tonight (drunk, no doubt as he's going out for someones leaving do ) and falls asleep. Then I sit next to him in bed, and whisper gently in his ear, over and over again.. "Mark 3 Eglu and some of Fees chicks...Mark 3 Eglu and some of Fees chicks" Then he'll wake up tomorrow and say "Y'know, I think we should get a Mark 3 Eglu and some of Fees chicks - what do you think?", before he wanders away thinking "How the heck do I know about Mark 3 Eglus and who on earth is Fee??" Works every time - how do you think I got him to buy me an Eglu in the first place.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
