Gloss-Hen Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've been wanting more chickens for a while and I have finnally found somewhere i can get some more chickens I'm hopefully getting them on saturday. One white sebright and one partridge pekin. Has anyone got any of these breeds and any advice thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Great news it's such fun choosing them. I've got a pekin and advice would be buy some ear plugs she's very cute and I've not had any trouble with her little feathery feet but she has got a squawk when she wants other times she sounds like a guinea pig. Smashing character and lovely little eggs she occasionally gifts to us. She's a gem So advice would be to check the legs for mites and mudballs.
