Mollie333 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I thought i'd take some pictures and put them on here, because i haven't in a while. This is Ruby, one of my broody hens. This is Bella, another one of my broody hens. She's that colour, honestly, it's not dirt. This is Onyx, my gorgeous little black Pekin. This is one of my oldest chicks, a Pekin x Wyandotte, boy. A cute little Colombian(i think?!) Pekin bantam.. A boy. Effy and her chicks going to bed. The cockerel i've got really attached too.. he was a she until about a week ago. My gorgeous, beautiful, strange, frizzle polish x pekin My two boys, gone to a new home. Another one of my broodies, Millie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auntielizzie Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 What kind of chicken is Ruby She's beautiful what colour do you call that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 She's a Pekin bantam. Not sure really... Maybe somewhere in between Birchen and Partridge? Maybe someone can help me out here. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 GORGEOUS! How easy is it to look after the PJ legs of Pekins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Pretty easy! They could do with a covered run though to stop them from getting balls of mud stuck on there toes. Not too bad in spring/summer. I have quite a few (see in my signature) i have a look at them all every week to make sure no big mud balls.

fluffy chick Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 They are all so cute, I love pekins!!! Defo my fav chickens. Ruby looks like my partridge but not quite so maybe you're right about the cross. What a shame about the boys very cute . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
