scarlettohara Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) They are just gorgeous They are 16 weeks old with hardly any combs but very impressive fluffy hairdos, one is a beautiful light cream and the other a caramel colour Their legs are so clean I asked if they had been washed but Kirsty said no, just well looked after (I got them from Hens for Homes in Gt Dunmow). They are a bit shell-shocked - heads in the air at every little sound but have been watching the others freerange from the eglu run and eating and drinking. Gave them corn on the cob but they didn't have a clue but liked the handful of organic corn Here they are - hard to get photos as every time I moved forward they moved back Edited June 13, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlettohara Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I can't wait to see pics my girls are from Kirsty too and skylines are top of my list for next time OH has agreed to September They are lovely chooks - so clean She had 2 waiting for me but said I could change for different ones if I didn't like them but I think mine were the prettiest I did pick them both up and check they were OK though, maybe Moth for the lighter one ?

Space Chick Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 There is a theory that lighter ones lay cream eggs, and seeing one girl is quite light I would be interested to find out. I purposefully chose darker girls, and they are both laying green eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
