moochoo Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 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): Splash Orpington Speckled Sussex Dark Brahma Cuckoo Maran Barnevelder Cream Legbar At the back Croad Langshan All are very pretty girlies and the Speckled Sussex has laid me an egg already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 They are all very beautiful girls! If I had to pick one for myself I would not know which to choose, but perhaps that splash orp has me most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is the legbar a cockerel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 They are all beautiful but especially like the Orpington, you must be really pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Lovely new girls Moochoo!Where did you get them from? I'm looking for a supplier in the area 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.
