Post by: nicky d on August 19, 2010, 16:42
Sorry for the delay i promised i would get some piccys of the new girl whom ive named Tina  :lol: :lol:,  got delayed by painting the kitchen :blink:, anyway hope you like her,  she has settled in very well, shes just over a year old,  a bit of a bare back at the moment from the cockerel at her last home but hopefully she will be as good as new soon.

Awwww well done Tina, We were lucky that when we got our hens that they laid the very next day. The second batch we got though were a bit younger and took about 2 weeks till lay :D

Nicky your girls are sooooo pretty.
Your cream legbar is different to mine though  ??? are there different varieties? The face is the same but the colourings are different lol.
