buffie Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Crookham, you're not to far from me. What to make it a day trip? Rhapsody - she is one stunning hen. Bizmillah is perfect! Or frankenhenna? The touble is, OH oftens goes out to check on our girls and i think he would notice a couple of new additions! Now that never stops any of us BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Modelling the eglu...... She's been so good, been handled and had a wing clipped my younger son loves her colours and has been singing Bo Rhap all afternoon! The colour combo in the eglu is a bit eye-watering though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 why not? sounds fun! and then I can say i was led astray if I come home with an extra hen or two ......... fab, 'cos I was going to blame you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harveypup Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I love her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 So far so good- have let her out to free-range with the others and they all give her the odd peck but nothing terrible, I know the challenge will be getting her into the eglu I'm going to carry on with free-range and separation at bedtime for a while. On a separate note, how quickly did I forget what devils youngsters are to catch!! I've got so used to my ladies following me around and crouching when I go to pick them up, last night was like a ropin' scene from Bonanza! Thank you so much for all the good wishes, no more room in the eglu now so I'll have to behave..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 last night was like a ropin' scene from Bonanza! You are a hoot Rhapsody! Have you got an anglers landing net.....they are quite useful for catching escapees. You just have to hope the neighbours aren't watching!

Chickster Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have a similar hen, bought from Storrs Poultry near Sheffield, they told me it was a Daisybelle. Here's a picture of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickster Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Seems like I can't post an image - have a look in my gallery called 'Chickster' if you want a peek at her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickster...I think you need a host such as Photobucket....although I thought you could be able to show an image from the gallery. Your pics are lovely.

Egluntyne Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 There you are Chickster...it works a treat in photobucket....hope you don't mind...I couldn't resist tinkering. She's a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The old version of the gallery used to let us post images in threads, but the new one is different and you can't! As Egluntine says, try Photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom and Barbara Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 oooooh purdy!!!!! funnily enough i saw one with EXACTLY that colouring at the weekend in a pen with Cotswold legbars...not sure if the one I saw was a Cotswold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Wow I've never been at the cutting edge before- but I thought Daisybelles were blacker with white markings...? but what do I know? Thanks for the pics chickster, its nice to know Bizmillah isnt alone! She is now in the eglu and they are giving her the odd peck but nothing terrible, she makes a mad dash for food and water, if I can get them out to free-range in this horrible weather all is fine, its just in the eglu run where she has to run the gauntlet. She is already stooping (!) and growing fluffy pants, and is a very chatty hen. More pics soon Rhapsody x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
