They are addictive, but the GOOD news is... there is no cure

Oh tell me about it!!!

My oslings have overtaken the ducks now it alarming how fast they grow, got them as a few day old babies now they are about 8 weeks.  They are lovely though and cuddle up, I love the fluffy bit they have on their heads.
I called them Fizz(yellow) and  Fozz (grey) as I dont know the sexes and didnt want gender based names.

I've posted these pictures of Oliveview's (Pamela in Spain) chickens:









I think your new hens (the ones with black tails) look like skylines so there is a good chance they will lay blue eggs  

[Oliveview]

Thanks Aunt Sally, they started laying- very small white eggs, need a dozen to get a good meal!
PAmela (in UK at moment!)

Well done Kathy  

What a beautiful bird.  What type is she  :?:

[KathyH]

That is "Henna" (the reddish hen!) and she is a Bovans Goldline (hybrid Rhode Island Red and Light Sussex).
She should produce loads of eggs and is supposed to have an easy nature and be friendly. She is certainly very bold! She is always the first out of the coop in the morning and is the last back in. She is also the only one of the three who seems hell bent on flying out and exploring! Her wings are supposed to be clipped but she still manages - I am not experienced at noticing how well her wings have been clipped but I will have a better look as she gets more used to us handling her as I suspect it hasn't been done on her quite enough.
She certainly has bags of character and is a real explorer!

[Aunt Sally]

I love the white tail and wing feathers and what a lovely brown too  

[KathyH]

 Thanks .
We think she is pretty. I love the sort of "spiky" markings round her neck (better shown in the pic of her not on the roof). They look like a jesters pointy ruffle collar!
The eggs should be brown and quite large. I must say we are getting quite twitchy waiting for our first eggs!
they are all 20 weeks and their combs are quite red so shouldn't be long - I hope :!:
