oh arent they tiny! we got ours at point of lay, so much bigger than that. what sorts are they?

Katymac · 05/07/2009 13:35

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

lol - are they all tucked up in bed then?

Katymac · 05/07/2009 23:01

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

I want chickens too
surely one should be called walnut?

Katymac · 05/07/2009 23:09

You'd think wouldn't you?

But no - the Daisy Buttercup is Daicup

& Pootle was going to be fennilily - but I pulled rank

Pootle is going to lay blue eggs & Daicup cream ones......maybe?
