Chicken deficient Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've been offered two buff columbian Pekins. Swoon...(can't find a smilie for that). There don't seem to be that many of them around? They are currently 8 weeks old and I should shortly be getting a photo of them . I'm hoping I can convince Him Indoors to let them remain as garden dwellers, but we'll see! I'm still planning on adding a few more bantams to the flock in the WIR - just waiting to see what.

Chicken deficient Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Google it Shabby. It's a buff Sussex without the legs Ahhh - gasps in horror! They also have busselly pom pom tails and make cute meep meep noises like any good Pekin should. I had even considered getting a buff Sussex bantam as I couldn't find a buff columbian Pekin before. Sadly though, I won't be getting them after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Try happy hens in Herefordshire. Or go to a show and snatch one off a breeder. If you're not brave enough they may sell you one or put you in touch with a breeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Oh, that's a good hatch rate. Well done. Did you set just six eggs at the start or was that the number that were shown to be fertile at 10 days? Everyone here is looking forward to pictures . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
