Couperman Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 We have a bit of an upstairs downstairs thing going on. The white ones, 2 Fennings an 2 Coral Nicks which look identical to us, have teamed up and decided to attack the two suffolk blacktails. Needless to say the blacktails are losing badly and have retreated into the Cube. Everytime they venture into the run the four Imperial Stormtroopers jump them. The white ones are obviously from the dark side of the Cube. Do chooks usually go in for ethnic cleansing? None have their wings clipped yet! We have that fun to come! We have sat all afternoon and watched them s"Ooops, word censored!"ping. The little girl next door has been out foraging for slugs and worms for them! she thinks the girls are ace. We haven't named them as yet as we can't tell them apart! For the time being they are the Empire and the Rebel alliance Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperman Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 The Rebels have equalised!! The Empire was winning until bedtime but the Rebels have the high ground and are defending the door! 'If your name's not on the list you're not coming in' type thing. We might have some fun getting them to truce for the night!! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I hope they all get on better today. Maybe they will swap positions today. Bit like the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (and you and Mrs Couperman can be Christopher Robin and Alice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lovely, especially the white ones Do some have bigger more floppy combs, and possibly more upright tails? Could be that they are just developing at different rates though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yes, two do have slightly floppier combs but there isn't much in it, the supplier said two would have more upright tail feathers but again there isn't a lot in it. Kev, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I've got a Coral Nic k, and the breeder said that they have a touch of Leghorn in them, so they develop large floppy combs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I know the Cube has loads of room but what do you thing of the run in terms of space? I was thinking of getting one or two newbies but cant convince myself that there is enough room for 6 in the standard cube run. My chooks are in the run most of the week and only free in the garden for a few hours in the evening after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
