jill the potter Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 what do they smell like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Aren't they gorgeous. Soooo tempted by Pekin bantams.... but can't. We already have 8 garden girls, who now own most of the garden. But every time I see pics, I think, well, what difference would a couple more make.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Never smelt a chicken. They smell lovely. Well done Plum they are divine. Adore their house, perfect for baby girlies.

Chortle Chook Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Are you sure they shouldn't be 'Bubble and Squeak" ? If they smell nice then perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I love my pekins. We are up to 21 now and they are all bolshy, in your face and totally adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh dear Janty I am on that slippery slope and totally entranced by her. They smell like freshly mown hay, puppies and a new car with a touch of guinea pig cage every time I see pics, I think, well, what difference would a couple more make.... soooooo...........................................?

Luvachicken Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Awwww, they are so sweet. Do the flutter much / do they fly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 No they are calm, so different to my wyandottes when they arrived. They would go into panic mode and shoot upwards 4 or 5 foot but don't think they had been handled much. Their mother disappeared and came back with her babies. These 2 can leap/fly to the perch at about 3ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
