zakjon-98 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Love the idea of a rescued christmas turkey Quail maybe? Or a couple of big large fowl girls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Love the turkey suggestion! You could call him/her cranberry sauce! Lol. In the interest of not guessing what's been guesses already I'm going to go with a boy bantam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Oh lucky ex-bats . . . but don't foget those turkeys out there Actually I was originally going to guess a frizzled goose (Sebastapol) but only because that's what I want (along with a Muscovy duck) . . . and said turkey.

Lavenders_Blue Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Oh ex-batts, how wonderful! I love ex-batts, they really are the most special hens. I've had 8 so far and 5 'posh' girls (one of whom was a Chicken Of Fate). The ex-batts have been my favourites all round, and my next girls will definitely be more batties. They are so lucky to be having a lovely new home for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 That is so great - they will be very lucky ex batts. You will love them and find they have such fab characters. My Margo is still my fav she is so cute and happy despite the horrible start to life. They become very friendly too My posh birds i have to sometimes chase around the garden but Margo is just always at my feet looking up at me. Excited for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky Chooky Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for the lovely comments. I found one of my little Lavender Quail Barbu D'Anvers dead in the WIR earlier and I'm feeling very so reading such kind words is a real comfort.
