Ladylucan Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 What a beautiful colour your cat is xx ( the chooks are lovely too, cant have them feeling left out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Fee, Roxanne will stay that colour but her adult feathers will have an almost oily shine to them... like patent leather. Tracey, Biscuit is a cream tabby cross - he's a big, cuddly ball of fluff and loves to hug his mummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND you did have to go and get a silver laced wyandotte Clare didnt you!! *sulks* (they are beautiful though! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sorry Chelsea, any time you're up here, feel free to come and see them. I just had to replace Ruby Tuesday - the garden wasn't the same without her showy plumage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Awww thanks, would love to if we ever venture up that way!! You have a stunning flock now....maybe you should "show" your girls?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'd love to Chelsea, but I don't think that any of them are 'show quality'. I love them all to bits though. Made me laugh thinking of showing Fleur, my white japanese bantam - she'd never stay clean long enough - the little darling loves to get all muddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Are they all living together now? I bet they look truly amazing free ranging around your garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 RIR bantams are the most gorgeous birds - second only to Marans Seriously, their colour is so under-rated. It's the most gorgeous chocolate which shines with a really deep green in the sun. Stunning girls! And wonderful layers too. Not to mention great characters - if a little noisey when about to lay My latest (Vera) was such an ugly duckling when I got her in March. I called her Vera the Velociraptor because that's what she looked like. Now she's completely beautiful though ! Really hope you enjoy your new girls Clare!

Martin B Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Made me laugh thinking of showing Fleur, my white japanese bantam - she'd never stay clean long enough - the little darling loves to get all muddy Fleur would be a good show bird. To stop her getting dirty you need to bring them in 2 nights before, bath them, house them in a show cage with only newspaper in. Then wash her the night before the show and on that morning! Poor soul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy Loo Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Lovely girls Clare - no wonder you couldn't say no to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Are they all living together now? I bet they look truly amazing free ranging around your garden Not yet Dilly, the newbies are in the rablu (bunnies back in their luxury duplex hutch), I am letting them out when I get home and put the others in their run. I'll have them all freeranging together tonight though. The newbies are hard work to get back in though... because they've not been mingling with the others, they haven't yet learned to coe when I whistle and don't understand the magical properties of corn Martin, Fleur is very pretty, but she'd never get placed at a show - she's not 'typey' enough. I don't want to get caught up in all the work invloved in showing.. I just don't have the time, I'd much rather spend it enjoying my chooks in the garden.
