Chicken bald back

[mcfee2]

I think I finally fathomed photobucket, so I wanted to show off my beautiful girls!

 

The hybrid girls

 

Fuchsia

 

Dandelion

 

Galax

 

And the new girls...

Coriander (and Daisy who will crash every photo, given the chance!)

 

Daisy

 

Phlox

 

Crocus

 

Now the four new girls were sold from different places as 12 weeks old. I reckon someone was fibbing... Coriander is massive and Daisy is still cheeping!

What a lovely chicken family you have......and grass

I love your little Daisy, she looks so cute, and how sweet of you to name her after my dog

Lovely little flock, but I'm sure Daisy is named after my dog hahaha

[mcfee2]

haha! Daisy was an accidental name - but I think it suits her well.

 

And as for the grass, well, it's all clover. the grass died ages ago. Where the cube is there is nothing at all, they removed the weeds and everything, although I positioned it deliberately so they would clear the overgrown flowerbeds for me . the plan now is to move it back into the corner on to slabs and just keep moving the netting so they do my weed control for me. It's amazing to see how the garden is thriving for some chicken attention... weeds are less than they've ever been and the shrubs love the donations from free ranging . The weekly clear out of the cube goes onto the raspberry bushes and they have never been so healthy. Happy happy.

 

Although I'm still convinced Daisy is only about eight weeks and Coriander is closer to sixteen. it will make integrating the two much more difficult if they're not all able to go on to layers pellets about the same time.

oops! double post

they are all lovely but i especially like Daisy she is gorgeous!

 

i think youre ok to keep the bigger ones on growers until the smaller ones catch up if you want to keep them together before intros to the others, but im sure someone with more knowledge will be able to confirm or not!
