Oh wow - I do want to keep more chooks! It must be lovely to have them from the egg as it were - I would think they get very used to being handled?

Calismum will :smt049 :smt049 :smt049 these pictures.

My goodness! Have I missed a post ....... did you (or rather your hens:oops:) hatch these little cuties, Smudgley? :shock:

The little chicks are adorable........ and equally adorable grown up!:D

So how many chickens have you got now?

[Moli]

They have grown so fast, lovely to see them free to roam around....

[HappyKatz]

You have so many Hens & chicks! They are lovely Smudgley :-D

[smudgley]

Thanks all.
Mags - we incubated some eggs and have been experimenting with different breeds, will sell surplus ones.
Have got 8 big hens and several youngsters. :cool:

I really enjoyed seeing those pics; fun to see them from wee chicks to adolescents.

[Leesy]

What a lovely set of pics, they have grown alot since they were the wee cute little chicks, they look to be in lovely condition:D

I just love them, Is the orpington the broody you brought home recently? Lovely chook. (actually they're all lovely chooks!)

Yes, the big Buff one is. She is broody again now. :roll:

Are you going to give her some eggs?

[smudgley]

Are you going to give her some eggs?
She is ahving 3 duck eggs, which a friend has asked me to incubate for him. She's very settled & has been broody a while, so will give her the eggs today.... 28 sleeps to go :roll:
