Griffin Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Bridget babies are five weeks old now and going through their gangly ugly teenager stage. I think they doubled in size while I was on holiday The first chick to hatch has turned out to be a boy whilst the remaining three are all girls Georgia keeps changing their names but I think she's finally settled on calling her one, the one who arrived four days late, Isabelle Isabelle is the smallest of the girls and has the distinguishing feature of one wonky toe nail Bessie, who is now only referred to as Dinner, is gigantic already and his trousers are just fab Dinner: One of the girls: Isabelle gets a cuddle from her proud chocolate covered owner: Isabelle: The difference between girls & boys is obvious now: Dinner: Isabelle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 There huge. Are you really going to eat him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yep, I can't keep him and it's very difficult to rehome cockerels. Not many people breed FW Marans so finding him a good home is even more tricky. Our last cuckoo Marans boys tasted lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
