zakjon-98 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hi everyone it's been a while since I've been on here! Unfortunately over the winter I lost my barnevelder Jan and my appenzeller Dot so I decided to get some new additions 2 weeks ago - Claudia and Matilda the gold partridge pekins to join korma and Judith who are still going strong and laying at 4 years old We are looking to move house when we have sold ours to a bigger garden so a nice big walk in run will be constructed for the girls. I decided to get the pekins now though as I've just finished high school and have time to mix them. Introductions aren't going badly, Judith isn't really bothered by them but korma is chasing them although it is getting a lot better. The pekins are currently in a classic borrowed from friends but have supervised free ranging in the day with the big sussex girls. Hope you like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 They all look very happy together I'm especially liking the pekins. I could do with some pekins that can actually lay eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakjon-98 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 The pekins are great I can see myself getting more in the future. These two have only laid a couple since being here It'll be good to see them after a moult though as the cockerel they were running with has pulled out quite a few feathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakjon-98 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Going to ask a very stupid question as a newbie; your large fowl are pure beds aren't they? Yes they are buff and light sussex. Not a stupid question you can get hybrid lights sussex strains like a sussex star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
