Laura007 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 rejoining the forum after a long absence and lovely to see familiar faces and fellow excitable chicken owners we've now moved to a house with more room for chooks (is it sad that was the deciding factor??) so they have 100ft x 70ft to play in We've now got 9 large hens including Cotswold legbar, cream legbar, barred plymouth rock, sussex, barnvelder, marsh daisy x and 2 gold brahmas. We've a bantam run with white and gold frizzles, a black silkie, a polish chamois, a silver partridge pekin, gold partridge pekin and a lavender pekin. Most of the bantams came from our 'Marmite run' where the lady from the chicken farm sends us 'Marmite cases' that need a little extra tlc to get fit and strong The latest additions are 3 japanese quails all called Bob. Just flexing my fingers to start some raised veg beds this weekend too oh and we have a little addition on the way, due 16th August - we should be finding out the sex on Tuesday if baby obliges so I will be straight out to buy it it's first pair of either pink or blue wellies will have a nosey now to see what peeps have been up to *waves at kate, gina, trish, AnnieJ and Daniel* august the 16th is pauls birthday, the little un will be in good company!

Cate in NZ Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Oh, Claire, I'm so sorry to hear about the Plymouth Poor bird, and poor you, I'd have been crying like there was no tomorrow as well Good luck with the eggs though, I do hope that they all hatch and that you get some lovely chicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
