Lewis Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 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...

BocBoc Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 They are all lovely! Looks liek you've had a good flurry of snow there too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 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 .

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 The 3 are settled into the Go fine They've met Mr Dinosaur the Araucana cockerel and stood up to him!
