Decided on Polands - they're here!

Recommended Posts

After much umming and ahhing about what to get next to keep my Pekin and Silkie company I finally decided on a couple of Poland bantams. Did a 3 hour round trip to get them today. They're lovely and so funny; I had to put them to bed tonight as one had roosted on top of the chicken house and the other was asleep on top of their drinker! Such a funny sight, I wish I'd photographed it. Anyway, I did get some pics earlier today - sorry they're not the best:

This one has been named Dinosaur by my little boy.....

I can really understand why people say you can't mix them with 'normal' hens, they seem a bit helpless. I went out this morning and they were still in bed where I'd put them so I lifted them out and put them in front of the feeder. They started pecking the feeder but mostly hitting the plastic rather than getting any pellets (it's a gravity feeder). I hope they get the hang of it soon, settle in a bit and get food and water!
