My new flock - with photos!

Recommended Posts

I went to collect what will be my new flock of girls today. As all plans go I didn't come back with all that I had ordered due to some miscommunication between sites but here goes. Some of the girls were from the last hatch of last year and have been kept with cockerels so have some feather damage but that'll soon grow back, so let me introduce you to (names yet to be decided):

All are very pretty girlies and the Speckled Sussex has laid me an egg already :D

Is the legbar a cockerel ?

No she's definitely a hen. She was penned with another 2 hens and a cockerel so the difference was very obvious. I guess you're referring to her huge bonnet of a comb and the huge tail feathers. She's laid this afternoon so definitely a lady.

Lovely new girls Moochoo!

Where did you get them from? I'm looking for a supplier in the area :D

Thanks Snowy. I got them from this chap: http://www.cottagegardenchickens.co.uk/

they're near Bridgenorth Shropshire but well worth the journey. They also have a fantastic array of Pekins and he builds really nice wooden houses. If you know what you want he'll even drive part way to meet you.
