Snowy SUPER CHICKEN!!!

Yesterday I asked a friend where she got hers from, then suddenly today I have three of my own! :o8)

The man who had them is selling up and he was selling off the last of his stock, so she grabbed three for me. I'm still a bit stunned - I wasn't expecting to get them just yet. They are younger than I expected - the two littlies are 8 weeks and the big girl is 10 weeks. They are ensconsed in the dog crate in the dining room - I need to do some homework now, I don't even know if they are old enough to go outside yet :?

The tiny one in the middle was falling asleep!

What is that thing flashing at us? :?

So disorganised - the poor girls haven't even got names yet! 8)

Thanks! I can't believe how tiny they are compared to the big gangly hybrids! :lol:

 

And thanks Tasha - think I will keep them in the dog crate (it's big enough for two spaniels so should be plenty of room for now) and put the whole thing into the WIR tomorrow. As I am down to 5 big girls, I plan to split the WIR into two so they have their own area. It's pitch black outside now - will they be OK indoors overnight? :?

I've no idea Lewis. Lots of white feathers mixed with some rather nice looking possibly gold partridgey looking feathers. I've left them alone now as she was looking very weary. I hope she's just tired and that a day spent in a box hasn't been too much for her :(

Longer term I might try and mix them but there's no rush - the hybrids I have at the moment are grumpy little madams so I'm not holding my breath :roll:
