What have I bought ?
« on: November 05, 2007, 13:46 »
I bought 3 new chickens last week, but am uncertain as to what make they are.
I think one is a Plymouth Black Rock ?

Another is a mixture of a brown hen at the front end and a grey silvery one at the back ? The bloke selling it called it a Bluebell  ?

And the third is grey and black - very pretty - bloke called it Daisy !

ANY SUGGESTIONS ??

i don't know what type they are but they're pretty cute!

myhens have bouffy hair-do's on top of their heads so i always think 'normal' hens look pretty weird :roll:

sorry, i know that's NO help!

One of the smallholder type magazines have used the spitting image of the second photo on the cover of this months edition.

About 18, 20 weeks I am told. Expecting eggs in the next couple of weeks....colour of which ??... who knows. !
I got them because they looked different. I didn't realise how different they were.
Looks like a bit of inter breeding ...! :shock:
