Well it seems to be the weekend for it as I have got three more girls. Two dark Campbells who will lay me lovely blue eggs and a silver Appleyard because she is beautiful (and I have an Appleyard drake).



They seem to have settled in really quickly with the others and there's not been and fighting or argy bargy (yet).



And especially for chooknewbie here is an other pic of Gerry for whom she has found a lovely new home  :cheers:



Please ignore the mess and mud :oops:
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

They're lovely Kate.  :D

Want to see pictures of the blue eggs when you get any.

And don't worry about the mess and mud. I carefully edit my photos to avoid most of ours  :oops:

i've just bought an incubator for pippa, no stopping us now, (haven't told daddy yet as he said absolutely no more blooming hens) we'll sneak them out and face the music later.

Babe, they're gorgeous.

Yes another day wasted just watching the new ones. Settled in really quickly. Don't understand why it took so long for the ducklings to settle in when they were integrated with the grown ups. :roll:

mum and dad went to braintree this morning, mum wanted another new bag :roll:

they called in baytree on the off chance on the way back.

told him he might be able to get them tomorrow when the boss is in..... you can imagine what dad said  :?

6 wks old and £25 each  :shock:  prices are getting out of hand now. they even had the nerve to ask if he had a coop and run to keep them in. he soon told them they would have a better home than they already had   :flower:

but im sooooooo happy  :D

:oops:  :oops:  :oops:

Yes, they only ever seem to pose in front of the mess. Had a bit of a tidy up but bit like shuting the stable door..... :roll:

Currently coming up with names for the new ones. Think its going to be Annie and Amelie for the dark Campbells and Sally for the Appleyard.
