She is free range and has lots of grass/weeds to eat and I hang cabbages in the run to peck, any other suggestions please, tried cauliflower but didnt like that and lettuce didn't get much interest.

Oh give them sweetcorn to peck as well

Here's a pic of my new arrivals about 10 mins after I got them,
 


Very quiet they have been until they saw the cat !

[Aunt Sally]

They are beautiful Richy, what breed are they ?

[GrannieAnnie]

What sort of chook are they Rich?  Their combs look purple, or is that just the way the light catches them?

[Aunt Sally]

They look a lot like my Emily Grannie.

[richyrich7]

Thanks, they are RIRxLS

Really pleased with them.

Just been up to check up on them and they are all asleep on the floor in a corner  :roll:

I'll give em a day or two then show them where to perch

I think the purple combs is just the light Grannie not sure I'll have a good look tomorrow, just wanted to leave them alone to settle today.

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what breed this chicken is? I saw a few possibilities, but they all seem to lay brown eggs and she lays white eggs.
Thanks very much, here's the pic:

[Aunt Sally]

I think she's a bit of a mungrel  

There's lots of hybrids she could be like but the closest white egg layer could be a Warren.

Have a look here

[Zoidberg]

Thanks Aunt Sally - ahh that must be why she's so tough! (mungrel)
 

[Aunt Sally]

Did you look at the link Zoiberg ? She could be a Warren !

:shock: [/IMG] :shock:

[Zoidberg]

Yes sorry Aunt Sally - thanks for the link I had a look. She does look like that, but it said they lay brown eggs? Or am I looking at the wrong text  :oops:

[Aunt Sally]

OH....  Sorry I read the description wrong.  They do indeed lay brown eggs  :oops:

What breed are yours eggsonlegs  :?:

[eggs on legs]

Mine are Warren hybrids  ...and they lay brown and sometimes white (very light brown anyway, a sort of beige magnolia !!) eggs.

The eggs see to be getting lighter in colour as they get older. :shock:
