Cat tails Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 What a lovely bunch! Such a nice mix of colours and breeds too. First time I've heard of a dumpy! I thought you had some hens that were dumped... What is that green stuff they are standing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 What a gloriously colourful photo! Thank you for posting it. They all look lovely and your 'old ladies' are clearly still thriving (- as is your grass!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 They are beautiful. The little 'poot looks really cute wedging herself between the big girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh thank you They all live happily together in a cube or if temperatures drop further we will bring them down to the WIR which only has an eglu. Very cosy!! Porridge is just that! Oats + warm milky water. They have it most days in the winter. No real secret to their longevity, I think I am just lucky and have long lived breeds. They do all get along just great but I always make intros real slow. Seperate housing and f/r area for MONTHS. The breeder who I bought the sablepoots and araucana from also has bantam faverolles. Totally gorgeous and I believe slightly bigger than usual bantam size eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
