lougarbard Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Here is a picture of my silkie cross with her (now 6 pekin chicks, cos my friend 'stole' one girl!) I have just let them free range in the entire garden a few days ago , I was worried about the dog beforehand, but i needn't be, cos Mummy hen soon scared him off, and now I have no worries at all that he will go anywhere near them. Here they are, late afternoon, having a rest on my garden bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
