Plum Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 After getting The National must have morehen disease I set off this morning to get a silkie and an araucana............... but wanting a buff rock and a light sussex bantam .............and came home with......................... a scrumptious buff orpington bantam and a cheeky little dark lavender pekin. A pekin I never wanted a pekin , I don't like pekins feathered legs but once it was put in my hands how could I not take it home. She is wonderful so cheeky, she kept sitting on my foot while I was putting their run together. The little orp is a treasure not quite so bold and only 14 weeks but so silky.
