the-real-tinkerbell Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 i dont mind in the slightest but someon edid say that they may take a break while they feather up , they are little trouble makers tho lol far freindlier than the others as soon as you let them out they are around your feet the others are only intreasted if you have the corn bucket lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 We rescued Mistletoe, our ex-batt in December 2007 and she still lays. She has breaks for the winter when her moult comes but she does lay one, sometimes two eggs a week usually. He/She (who we got at the same time) hasn't laid eggs for some time.

Chortle Chook Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 lovely - I am such a sucker for a ginger chicken Yes me too. I don't know what it is about a ginger chicken but they seem to be just what chickens should be. If I think 'chicken' then that is how I imagine them.
