I thought I'd add some now that I know how too.

Ooooh lovely! Who's that in the third picture? I have a handbag just the right size... And I was looking for a recent picture of Miss Shiney Bumhole

Lovely chickens and great WIR - are your pekins separate or in with the others ?

[batcatz]

Wow, huge run. Great photos. My favourite is the third picture too.

You don't need a hanbag for Willemina - she'll slip nicely in your trouser pocket - she's teeny.

 

Scarlett o'hara - all of my girls are in together. The dutch (pigeon size) being the smallest along with the giant white cochin and orpington. The pekins, although relatively small, could stand their grounded if needed, but they all get along so well, it's not required!

I am so jealous of your run - it's amazing!

 

Not only do you have beautiful, beautiful girls but your photography is pretty darn good too - great pictures! So far, any photos of our girls are blurred where they've run away from me...

They'll soon settle down. And then your pics will be rubbish because they keep running towards you, won't stand still and want to know what you're doing As Tallulha will now demonstrate

Lovely girls and what a stunning WIR! I really wouldn't mind one like that

I especially love the hen in the 6th picture, what is she, if you dont mind me asking

[jellykelly]

Thankyou. I'm very pleased with my new walk in run.

The little lady in the 6th picture is Meilin, my little pekin. She's a lovely little bird, full of personality and character!

Great photos

 

Love the WIR!

Oooh, smart pad

[Plum]

[quickcluck]

cute doggie!!!

 

Lovely girls, am jealous your large and small live together, I've never been brave enough to try it!

[jellykelly]

The dutch and the pekins were kept in a seperate run and house at one point. They all used to free range together happily. One night I went to lock them up and they were all in together - we've not looked back since.

 

The two brahma bantams were also seperate, but then barack'o brahma decided to go broody. I had no option but to try and chuck shell'o brahma in with the larger flock - luckily, it all worked out and all are great pals.

 

I'm already worrying though about trying to add Barack'o to the flock once she's had enough of isolation with her chicks.
