Cinnamon Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 My sister in law phoned me today to tell me about her new Omlet chickens. She ordered a Pepperpot & a Gingernut, but they were out of stock of the Gingernuts, so gave her a third breed instead. She couldn't remember what it was called, but it is a very pretty hen with a whiteish neck & head, shading into silver grey & black. Apparantly Omlet don't send them out very often, but do you think they are introducing a third beed to their repotoire? Anu idea what breed it is.....I will try to post a picture if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 It could be a speckled star or Speckeldy, I think some other people have got this breed recently........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Yes she sounds like our speckledy, Margot, we got her from omlet 3 weeks ago. I am very pleased with her and seems very friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 This is a Speckledy (Speckled Star) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Speckledys are gorgeous . Mines not an Omlet bird, we got her from a local breeder, but she's beautiful, fat, placid, pretty stupid, loves food, especially treats, very tame and a fantastic egg layer. Approx 13 eggs a fortnight . You're right to want one . She's very pretty too, with a splendid comb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I'm not allowed one - Debs very rightly pointed out that three's a crowd!..... don't tell that to Ebony then . She is now fully accepted and integrated into Ginger and Mrs Snowys club, and they all eat together and bathe together now ... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
