Take part in study on PFAS 'forever chemicals' in eggs

We had a sad start to our day as Amber didn't wake up this morning.... She'd had a prolapse this week, but was coping well and was a bright as a button yesterday. It just goes to show how quickly things change.

 

We needed corn and grit so off we went and saw these! How could we resist. You can't just get 2 as they need a group so we found a lovely light sussex with an amber fleck. It was meant to be!!!

Sorry you lost your Amber.

 

What beautiful girls you bought, I really like the first pic with those little white flecks

[quickcluck]

She is a speckled sussex, I think we may call her Snow!

She is a speckled sussex, I think we may call her Snow!

 

I was thinking along the snow line too - even though she's not mine

[good_egg]

Awww, too cute. I like the middle one. What is she and what are you calling her?

[quickcluck]

She is a Sablepoot. May call her sabrina

Sorry you lost your girl.

 

Your newbies are just lovely

So sad you lost Amber. Your new girls are gorgeous, and will keep you busy! Hope they settle in, and all goes well for you.

Sorry for your loss

 

Those new girls you have there are stunning! What gorgeous colourings.

Your new girls are lovely

 

I used to have 3 jubilee orp sisters (they have the same markings as a speckled sussex) called Flo, Snow and ... I can't remember the other girl's name

 

I called one Snow because she had more white on her as a grower, but of course she moulted it out, and then as they get older they have a tendency to get whiter anyway. In the end I couldn't tell the difference between 2 of them, they were like peas in a pod The cockeral always preferred the 3rd girl, so she was easy to spot - she had to wear a saddle

[quickcluck]

They are deperate to get out of their pen, but i'm trying to keep any argy bargy to a minimal.... the sablepoot is very tiny bless her, but very tame!

Love the new girls AND the chicken run - looks like you give them a great home.

What very beautiful girls!! I'd never seen a speckled sussex before. A stunning trio
