Cinnamon Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 There is a double page spread of some wierd looking old chickens in The Daily Mail this morning. They look a tad high maintenence to me, but are very sweet. I paticularly like the Polish Frizzle - it reminds me of Sharon Osbourne with her new hairdo!

Mrs Frugal Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I love Frizzles! They are gorgeous!! If I had enough room, my garden would be full of Frizzles and Cochins!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm not too sure myself Kate, they look untidy, and as for that one with the bald neck - un-natural! I quite like silkies; they look so startled and daft . That Cochin on the top left of the photo spread is exactly like a giant one that followed us round the Domestic Fowl Trust place last weekend - it was a bit intimidating when it started to run. Apparently they wer bred to fill duvets - so Phil referred to it as 'duvet'. My favourite is the Polish golden laced hen; she is just fab!

ubereglu Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I quite liked that article especially the pictures. Would have been nicer if they'd had a bit more writing about them though! Like the fact about the Cochins! Especially the duvet bit!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I saw that article and mentioned it in my blog Loved the chickens but was a bit infuriated with the journalists. The Mail has been making a huge thing about the bird flu - even gave Tony Blair and Blunkett a rest at teh time. Now they have a some pictures of pretty birds, hardly a mention of the flu. The media has probably scared so many people off chickens - that is why I wanted to write about them on my blog and I have heard of a few people now seriously considering having them. Bet those chickens take a lot of looking after. But really cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
