newcountrygirl Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 She is gorgeous - surely someone must be missing her - but if not I am very envious - I just keep getting the bog standard hefty girls from next door in my garden.

Alis girls Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Is she laying? If so mail her to me - egg famine here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wow she's stunning!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heth1986 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 No, no eggs, i think she's quite young. Ive found out, through the joys of facebook, that a friend if a friend of a friend keeps chickens on the same road where she was found so i'll give them a knock tomorrow, im sure they will know where shes from even if she isnt theirs. If not then she will be taking up permanent residence a bit further up the gar den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Have you still got her or did she belong to that friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin of a sister of a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heth1986 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 It was actually the auntie of a friend of the girlfriend of a brother of my partners! But no, it wasn't theirs, I knocked on the door and showed her the picture to which she giggled and said "no, mine are just chickens!". I'm giving up now, I haven't a clue who else has chickens round here, I've left her with my number just in case she hears of anyone. The old coop is going in the WIR today and I am now searching for a little friend to go in with Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 That's lovely. A new chook for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Pete? Is "she" a bloke then? Nice looking bird whatever it turns out to be. How can you not miss that. Lovely ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 for the time being, she's called Pete (?!) because it was my dad's birthday yesterday and that's his name he's not impressed. This is from an earlier post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm so pleased that you are going to get to keep her I too was confused why she was called Pete if she was a she, but anyway I thought that maybe you could call her Peta and then she would still be named after your Dad but have a girls version of the name. Whatever she gets called in the end, she is still beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is she all settled in now? How about making her name 'Peta' - one of my neighbours is called that and she is very much a female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heth1986 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yes she's all settled now thanks, she is officially called Peta (Luvachicken beat you to it ) and I've moved her up into the old coop but inside the WIR so the big girls can keep an eye on her. She also has a new friend... there's another thread on here somewhere with a picture of her x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sorry - late to the party Gosh that is a very tricky one. Yes the bird is a silver laced Wyandotte for sure. I would say 99% sure she is a female BUT she has a very boy-ish face and very developed for what appears to be quite a young bird I wonder if she was dumped because she was suspected to be male? My final guess is female but not necessarily very young just small framed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
