I have a cream legbar which might be a bit big (possibly to be called Pootle) - that is the grey one & a cross between a Marsh Daisy & a Sicilian Buttercup (probably to be called Daicup)which is much lighter/creamish

We also have a refusal on another cross (Daisy/Buttercup) called Ishmai.....but we don't know if it's a girl yet

Yes they went inside on their own (which is a damn good thing as I have no idea how to get then into the Eglu)

I just need to get them injected for marretts (sp) pdq
