sweetpea08 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 On Monday we picked up and brought home with us the following: 1 Cochin x silver pencilled wyndotte "misty" 1 Buff Cochin "amber" 1 White Orpington "marshmellow" Really enjoying them they seem to be settling in well now to await eggs the breeder seemed to think that marshmellow was laying and that misty shouldn't be to far away as her nest mates are. Will put up some pictures soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea08 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ok as promised some photos of the girls these were taken about 2 weeks ago they are a lot less scared of me these days and will often come right up to the door especially if they think I have some food for them. So far their favourites are chickweed, apples, a tonic mix (which has garlic powder, seaweed oats and sunflowers in it), and stale bran muffins. No eggs as of yet the breeder thought that marshmellow was laying but none here yet perhaps they are still settling in. I am sure we will get some sometime.

Luvachicken Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Very nice Not sure how the white one stays so white I'm sure you won't have long to wait for your first egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Aren't they pretty girls! I love the way they are all so different. Do you buy that tonic or do you make it up yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
