Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[Lewis]

May have taken a trip down to Cotswold Chickens on Tuesday for a few christmas presents

 

Saw some Buff Orps for sale at The Fed which dad wanted, so the idea of new chickens was planted, then I suggested getting hybrids instead for eggs

 

Meet...

Fearne - Bluebelle

 

Holly - the Speckled Star

 

Edith - the Black Rock

 

WIR and eglus in the snow:

Fearne + Edith:

I LOVE Fearne! All nice.

[Egluntyne]

[Plum]

Fearne and Edith are stunning Holly is cute too. Congratulations Lewis

[Sageandonion]

Aww they're gorgeous - congratulations

[Patricia W]

Lovely! Are they from Cotswold Chickens?

[WitchHazel]

Lovely new girls!

[BocBoc]

They are all lovely! Looks liek you've had a good flurry of snow there too!!!

[Lewis]

Lovely! Are they from Cotswold Chickens?

Yep

Quite a bit of snow Annie!

 

They're inside the WIR in the Go with a run attached 'cos the Dinner chickens are in the eglu, so I've let them into the WIR to see the others a couple of times.

The only ones that had a peck were Fearne and Audrey! Hopefully these intros won't take too long then

 

Didn't think there were any Black rocks left but there was one (maybe 2) left so I had her!

Have put corn along the side of the run to associate the new girls with nice nom

[Sam]

Aww they look lovely! My new Black Rock was from Cotswold chickens, maybe they're sisters!!

[The Dogmother]

They are gorgeous Lewis I really love those Bluebelles with the ginger on their chest; it's such a pretty colour combo.

[goodinparts]

Lovely girls - the same breeds & same source as mine. So glad you posted pics - I was getting impatient

[chicken bark]

What a lovely present.

[Fur 'n' Feathers]

Fabulous chickens

 

Like your set up!

[Burtie14]

Lovely chickens! Edith looks like trouble - she's got a naughty glint in her eye.

[Space Chick]

I like Holly the most

[green]

They're very pretty. I've never seen a Bluebelle with so much ginger on her chest before, our Bluebelle's sisters had only a small patch and mine is completely grey. Very .

[dancing cloud]

What gorgeous girls and a big "hello" from my Holly to yours!

[The Dogmother]

They're very pretty. I've never seen a Bluebelle with so much ginger on her chest before, our Bluebelle's sisters had only a small patch and mine is completely grey. Very .

 

Some Bluebelles can be very dark with dark combs and legs, others are lighter and some have a lovely hackle of ginger feathers - the contrast in the colours is lovely. They are lovely, chunky chickens and usually quite docile.

The 3 are settled into the Go fine

 

They've met Mr Dinosaur the Araucana cockerel and stood up to him!

Might let them FR or into the WIR with the others for a while tomorrow
