[New shoot]

All at the coop having a relaxing day in the sun.

Alphie and the Supermodels are out in the garden.  The Supermodels decided a spa treatment of garden border earth was in order



Alphie tutted and clucked over them, but decided if you can't beat them..........



The Herberts reckon they are too grown up now to be called scraggy chicks so please welcome little miss Blue Orp



and little miss Choccy Dottie



They have also learned that offered hands contain treats

I was just thinking that about your dotte actually    The comb looks awfully red for a young pullet  :blink:

Hope not - got 2 little monster boys already   

I've sent a piccie back to the breeder to see what she thinks.  She did say if they were late developers she would take them back.  I think the orp is a girl.  The dottie has got a red comb, but still can't see 'boy' whattles so got my fingers crossed

lovely photos and great looking birds (whatever they turn out to be!)

[Springlands]

They are really lovely - chucks look so lovely and contented when they are sunbathing.

Sweet chicks.  Little darlings!

Got an email back from the breeder to say that she still thinks I have a choccie dottie pullet as she has hatched and grown them on before and seen combs like this on birds she has kept.  The wattles are not developing like a cockerals would so I have my fingers crossed as I would hate to part with one of the Herberts.  They are such good friends now and I am such a softie I am already attached to them both   

The breeder is a lovely lady who has said send another piccie in a couple of weeks just to be sure and if she is actually a boy, there will be no problem taking him back

fingers crossed for girls, it must be heartbreaking to part with one, I get attached to mine so quickly!
