Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

Just picked up my long awaited Blue Laced Wyandotte, Lavender Araucanna and a Red Silkie.

 

The Wyandotte (Guinevere) is absolutely gorgeous, the breeder was very sad to see her go she would have like to have kept her for breeding but i had her ordered from birth so she reluctantly handed her over telling me i should show her!! im soooo happy with her!

 

The Araucana (Arwen) is so small at the moment she looks a bit like a pigeon! But so elegant!

 

And the Silkie (Ginger) is soooo cute soooo fluffy

 

I will get photos up as soon as possible, sooooo excited

Yes - photos as soon as you can please.

 

I picked up some new girls yesterday but none of them will be show standard. Very sweet though.

Well heres the pics The little darlings the pictures dont do them justice!!

We have changed the red Silkie's name form Ginger to Lynne (my sister in law has ginger hair - she now super happy she has a name named after her lol)

And poor Arwen currently still looks pigeon like or a scurry!

I am in love with the Wyandotte she is perfect. Wish I could have her.

Wow ..Lynne looks like Cilla Black! Gosh, I've never seen one so red before - very very beautiful - as is Guinevere. I love your little pigeon one too. You've got some very special chooks there!

Very beautiful if you ask me, not a fan of Silkies but Lynne is just

[thenewchick]

Wow didn't know you even got chickens like that!!! I want some

[Tiggy]

crikey what beautiful girls, I never knew you could get hens that look like that

[grageomat]

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

I was studying my chickens this morning (as you do) and i think that my camera has maybe enhanced the clour of them a bit! They are both very brightly red in colour but the tell tale on the pic was the blue on guinevere, its very blue in the pic and its not that blue in real life, so i think maybe the colouring has been brightened up a bit.

They look ultra glamorous. Congratulations.

[Cinnamon]

Super girlies - you will have hours of fun with them

Yeah, the contrast/saturation must be up a bit, they're looking very vivid!!!

 

....nonetheless, they're absolutely gorgeous!!!!

I had no idea you could even get hens that colour, she looks more the colour of a parrot than a hen and they are all just beautiful

[Bexibex]

Wow, they are stunningly beautiful. I especially like Lynne but that is because I am a red head so I am biased!

[sezra]

Beautiful birds, lucky you!

 

I love the colour contrast on Guinevere.

[docsquid]
