jill the potter Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Was cleaning out the WIR today so allowed the girls to have free range of all the garden as all the veg is now finished. The new girls were a bit unsure so didn't actually stray very far from a large patch of soil where the potatoes had been. As you can see poor Tikka is recovering from a heavy moult (OH said it was cruel to take a picture of her looking like that, and he's the one who claims he's not that bothered about the chicks!!!). Barbara Barbara looking very grown up! Tikka just in shot looking a bit bedraggled - Margot at the back - camera shy Close up of Tikka (new feathers coming on face) and a lovely shot of Barbara's bum!!!! Whoops dont know why they are so big - reduced them on photobucket - the first one should have Margot in shot. Been back on photobucket and it says they have been reduced, so don't understand where I am going wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoxy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Lovely girls What breeds are your girls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill the potter Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks to whoever reduced the photos - some a bit small now might try again. The dark one, Tikka, is a Black Rock. Margot - the white one is a Light Sussex and Barbara is a Cream Legbar cross (don't know what with though) known as a 'Sandy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks to whoever reduced the photos - some a bit small now might try again. I've had a look at the moderator logs, and no one has altered the size of these pictures, so it must be photobucket playing up. I'd try uploading them again if I were you. Ideally no larger than 600 px. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I posted some pics via Photobucket on Sat and they were fine Guess it is a bit hit and miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenopolis Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 OMG!!!! What beautiful girls and what amazing "FLUFFY KNICKERS" Light Sussex is on my list of "I WANT" for 2011 (mind you so are loads of other breeds, why have I not got a field in my back garden......)

Plum Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 They're looking smashing even Tikka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Barbara is an absolute stunner! Poor Tikka looks like a lady caught by the postman in her showercap and dressing gown but I bet she too will be a stunner once she is back in her glad rags.

Lewis Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Looking good Barbara looks like a Buff Sussex, may be in the cross somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Tikka looks like a lady caught by the postman in her showercap and dressing gown but I bet she too will be a stunner once she is back in her glad rags. It's been about a month now - took six weeks or so last year - will post pic when she's got her Christmas outfit on Barbara looks like a Buff Sussex, may be in the cross somewhere? Must find out what combination of breeds Barbara is - stupidly didn't ask when we got her p.s. photos seem to be right size now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I saw a very pretty hen on Saturday...she was a Welsummer cross...but Ben didn't know what she was crossed with...was very tempted...but then plumbed for RIR (Maggie) instead and I have no regrets she is stunning Barbara is so pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzieLloyd Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 We've got two Light Sussex bantams and they are lovely birds - great layers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatedog Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Could Barbara be a Buff Sussex? She certainly looks a bit like it anyway........ Tikka looks a bit like my Ginger at the moment - heavy moulting and gradually growing in her new glad rags......she looks so much smaller than normal! Just shows how thick and fluffy a hen's plumage is usually....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
