i saved these 2 girls from being dumped
can you tell me what they are please......

[samuria]

anyone know what these girls are

[GrannieAnnie]

Sorry Samuria, I don't recognise them.  I saw your post last night, but hoped someone would know what they are! 

[samuria]

changed the photos so someone might
be able to tell me

[8doubles]

The first one looks very much like a Heinz 57 ! 

[samuria]

well it could be!!!! but it looks so cute
its so small compared to my others (buff orpingtons}.
my dog can't make it out !!!! the strange noise it makes reminds me of some quail i had years ago

[GrannieAnnie]

Whatever they are, they are very pretty!  And the smallest one is probably a bantam then, and like 8doubles said, cross breeds maybe.

Good of you to rescue them though! 

[8doubles]

I should think the second one has some Arukana blood in it.

[samuria]

thanks . anyway they are cute and are a nice addition to the fold

[grinling]

do you know the owners and why they were no longer required?

[samuria]

i did not know the owner. they were left in a small box  in the woods where i walk my dog
well the dog found them as they were in amongst the brambles

[New shoot]

Thank goodness you and your dog came along Samuria.  How cruel to leave them like that in the woods 

They can look forward to a happier life with you 

[Sassy]

How lucky you found them. I cannot think what is in folks heads when they do these things. I hope they provide you with loads of eggs. Whatever they will be good fun!

[Sassy]

I'm not getting a clear picture and am useless at iding breeds but could the lighter one be a Cotswold Legbar?

[samuria]

my 2 (new) girls have settled in well, though they get bullied when i put their food out....
at night they just follow the others and settle down in the coop ... iam glad i found them and brought them home
