If only I lived nearer Chicken Soup, I have 3 gold crested polands and would love one like yours, we could have done a bit of eggy swapping in the spring :roll:

Polands and Silkies are my utmost favourite chickens. The only thing is I would like one of every colour and somehow I don't think I have the room and hubby might complain a bit. Mind you we are moving hopefully this year.

You could move out here :shock: Loads of house and even more land for your money

Then we could do eggy swaps

I also have a menagerie and I am sure we would be really bad influences on each other, what fun

Light sussex are fab!
Got 3 light sussex bantam girls and I love them to bits. They are very hardy, you'll find them rummaging around the garden even in the worst weather. I'm getting an egg a day from 2 of the 3 at the mo (just come into lay) and Mother Hen lays eggs the size of medium eggs from a supermarket. Not bad considering she's only a bantam.
Good choice!
Although if I had more space I'd also have silkies, sebrights, orpingtons, welsummers, cream legbars.............................you get the picture!

here's bluebelle

she has me in stitches because she can fly, but when she does her waddle run her wings flap, very cartoonish, because she's so huge. and she's so friendly and docile

Jellyhead · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2008, 11:47 »

Sorry to say but I think she is giving Elvis a waddle for his money

Give her a cuddle from me from over ere
