SallyD Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Went out this morning and came back with 3 chickens! A Bluebelle, a Speckledy and what was described to me as a "Red". Any ideas as to what sort this one might be? Anyway they all look lovely and seem happy in their new run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ooh that's really exciting! Have you decided on any names yet? Can I also be the first of many to ask for pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ooh lovely, I've got those too - my Speckldy is a big fat puffalump . What names have you chosen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Congrats on the new chooks. "Red"......Might be a Rhode Island Red (RIR) pure breed or maybe it's a hybrid which is a RIR cross???? Someone on this forum will tell you if you post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyD Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thank for all your good wishes! They are so entertaining I have to keep going out to have another look at them! When it got dusk last night they just put themselves to bed in the eglu - easier than children! Decided to call them Bluebelle, Ruby and Jemima. They don't seem to eat much but I've read that it will increase when they start to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
