scarlettohara Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks to Redwing who put me in touch with a lovely chook owner, I am collecting 2 millefleur pekin chicks this pm (possibly a mille frizzle ) so I have just been to Homebase and bought some wood to make a wood/mesh partition to hopefully prevent anymore accidents I will be stapling all afternoon I think Thanks for all your kind words yesterday (it didn't get much better - went to Gatwick to pick up ES and flight was 3 hours late so got to bed at 6 am ) Sara x Edited July 27, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Aw. I bet they will be stunning. I love millefleur but my breeder hadn't had a very good millefleur year so couldn't get one Try get the frizzle bet that will be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have no idea what millefleur pekin chicks look like, but the name sounds lovely so I'm sure they will be just beautiful. Good luck with doing all your DIY today I'm surprised you have any energy today if you didn't get home till 6am, poor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Congratulations Ditto When you make the divide make sure it goes all the way up or has a lid or they may get out. My little ones can shin upwards to quite a height if rattled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Here they are - it took me an hour to choose them, so many beautiful bantams. All colours of millefleur, splash, laced, partridge, lemon cukoo, cuckoo, buff and on my next shopping list - chocolate orpington bantams and chocolate pekins Chick I collected last saturday, 5/6 weeks old black/white frizzle called Squeak (well it's all she does ) Porcelain millefleur frizzle Possible blue pekin (Alma the breeder wants me to keep taking pics of her as she has never had a grey like her before and is interested to see how she turns out) she is so tame - she sat there for ages The partition (I have never done any DIY before!) The pekin (and dotte) penthouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 They are lovely Scarlett. I've not been on this forum for a while so I'm a bit out of touch but I can see that you have expanded your flock big time. I've just picked up some 5 week old chicks. I agree 'Squeak' is all they seem to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 They are gorgeous, I hope they have helped you feel a bit better. Good partition Yes they have but I look at them and feel sad for the 2 little ones who aren't joining in ES has said he will help me make a WIR for the bantams As for expanding - if you thought LF were addictive try bantams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Very cute When we went to get the last 4 girls we had to walk around all the pens + have a look, then I still couldn't decide which barred wyandotte to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
