Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 They are very sweet. Everything colour co-ordinated...even whatever the dog has got round his neck. (What is it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I love Auracanas too, & am trying to hold back from ordering some as my chap in Windsor has some gorgeous babies at the moment They are so sweet - congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pearsons Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 They are lovely. I have a Skyline and can see where the Auracana strain has given her the hairdo. A punk chicken! Helen in Hume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 They are gorgeous!!!! Can I ask what kind of sand you have in the dustbath? We use play sand but it never dries properly xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henypenny Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Its a mixure of play sand and hemcore, we also found that the playsand stayed damp so mixing it with the Hemcore helps dry it out, plus it seems to have discouraged them from eating the sand!
