Title: Our first chickens are here!
Post by: Pepperpincushion on March 26, 2011, 17:35: We went and picked out our new chickens from Ark this morning :) I was surprised at how many different colours and variations there were - it was hard to choose! But we got four lovely girls and they have ventured out a little this afternoon so I got a few pictures :D

. . . Argh!! photobucket won't play. . will try and find some way to get photos up ::)

Post by: Pepperpincushion on March 27, 2011, 20:23: Its fun getting to know their individual personalities :happy: Moonshine is definitely the brave one at the moment! They all seem to be relaxing a lot more now and tonight they went back in their coop as dusk approached without being told so they are clearly smart too ;)

Post by: LittleRedHen on March 28, 2011, 10:23: It looks like your red hen is a Columbian Black Tail, also known as a Calder Ranger. We have one and her name is Tilly. She has personality + and a real joy! Your hens are beautiful and I love their American names! I hope Twinky lasts as long as the items she's named after's shelf life! ;)
