hopingforchickens Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've had mild Morehens for some time now, casually choosing which chicks I would get should the opportunity arise, but yesterday a friend of mine told me she is downsizing and would I like a couple of hers. Well I feel really bad for her to be losing some of her chickens (as they are very lovely) but can't help feeling excited that hopefully by Sunday I will be the proud owner of a Maran bantam and a white Silkie Have to set up the welcome home over the next couple of days and if all goes to plan will post pics by Sunday night...

zakjon-98 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I love silkies very Hopefully you will get some dark eggs off the marans too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopingforchickens Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Maran laid her first egg on Wednesday and it was indeed a dark one unlike my existing Speckledy Henrietta who couldn't be bothered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 That's great what are you thinking of calling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopingforchickens Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 The silkie is called Mrs Pompom which definitely suits her, the Maran is Fried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh brilliant The best of all worlds - brown eggs and white bunny fluff. With the Silkie you'll even be able to increase your numbers further as she'll sit on anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would dearly love love Frizzles and Orps but I need a bigger garden/house/bank balance for those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
