New Chooks

[alexgirl73]

Here are the latest additions to the Smith household :D No names as yet (apart from the usual suggestions of Tikka and Masala from he who shall remain nameless :lol:).

And how good was this? Here an hour and a half, and voila! Two blue eggs :D

What beautiful chooks Alex - and such very pretty eggs. How can you bear to crack them open though?

[alexgirl73]

I have no idea how I'm going to manage it angie lol. They're sat in the fridge at the moment and I've told hubby not to touch them until the kids have seen them. Then I'm sure he'll dive in :lol:

Oh Lovely Chooks.

And as for those name suggestions, might as well invest in another to call 'chicken' if you were to go with that!!! :lol: Men!

Gorgeous chickens and eggs!

They are lovely. Good sized eggs too. Hope they get on with your other girlie.

Been pretty good so far calismum :D They've been free ranging all afternoon together. A few pecks from Chookie putting the newcomers in their place, but they've been getting closer and closer. Bedtime should tell a lot :)

I love the colour - a sort of grey violet. Are they Araucanas? Look very like them.

Lovely hens, Alex - they look like they are dancing together in those pics. :lol:

Pennyhen and Tuppence? ;)

they are indeed calismum, lavenders to be precise :D

And I'm very happy cause they all put themselves to bed and are snuggled up side by side. Just need to get them used to me now :)

I like the names Mags, but it's up to the kids to name 'em lol.

Clever girls!
