Poorly chicken

[Jaime]

I'd love to have a Blue hen.

 

I beleive that the Meadowsweet Bluebelle is based on a Marans - does anyone have one and do they lay chocolate coloured eggs?

 

Does any one know where I could get one pure Copper Blue Marans close to Manchester/Stockport prefereably at POL

 

I know somebody on the forums can point me in the right direction

Email barbara@omlet.co.uk for a list of local suppliers.

 

Alterntively look in the back of Practical Poultry!

Bluebelles are gorgeous Jaime, & lovely placid hens too.

There are some photos of my late Bluebelle in my gallery....link below

I know the people at Garden Poultry will have some Copper Blacks soon - they lay cholocalte coloured eggs. (Planning to get one over Easter so alreasy asked!!!! ) Didnt know there was a blue one?

I have a Bluebelle (from Omlet) and she lays pale pinkish eggs.

I have 3 Bluebelles, but they lay light to mid-brown eggs.

 

But they are gorgeous big, bonnie, buxom, beautiful girls - they are just the most fantastic chooks to have - friendly and placid - you have to get one!!!!!!!

I think I've decided - it will be a new Bluebelle at weekend

 

Now got to decide on the name... "(Dr.) Evadne" I think from Hinge and Bracket

 

I know Phil Melland at Leek has a new delivery of meadowsweet chooks on Saturday.

That's great news. Bluebelles are lovely!!! Mine lay really well and much better than our Black Rock. They're also more friendly and lay lightish brown eggs, most of the time speckled.

 

It's funny though as Starlet eats little bits of gravel out the plant pots and she has 3D bumps on the tops of her eggs!!!

I'm getting Bluebelle and a Maran Coucou on Wednesday!!! YIPEE
