Beak House Knitting Circle

[Flummery]

Day 2 in Beak House and the girls are having a good natter. Everyone has a full crop, they spurned Mum's offer of chopped grapes and chick-weed but scoffed layers pellets like they were going out of fashion. They seem to be settling down really well.

For those who haven't seen the other thread, they are, Ruby, Garnet, Topaz and Amber.

They are gorgeous, Flum. What sort are they? I love little red hens.

[Irie Jan]

Oh Flum they are so beautifull, I wish I could have chickens, but too many cats around not even counting my 5 also could not afford any more pets!

They are gorgeous, Flum. What sort are they? I love little red hens.

They are Meadowsweet Rangers - the usual cross of RIR with summat else I think. They are only humble hybrids but I also love the Little Red Hen types.

Oh -I missed you getting them!!!!

How lovely Flum!
Bet you're pending the day just watching them?????
Mine love sultanas and raisins!

It sort of ran on into the 'Working on the Run' thread. Thought I'd better start them their own.

I'm so glad they finally arrived- it seems ages since you made the decision!
The house looks lovely too!

Great pic Auntie Flum!

Which is which?


I only ask, as today I put rings on those I could catch, in case I need to identify any. Out of the 8 browns I know 4 individually (was 5 but one moulted and now looks the same as another) and of the 8 white ones I only know 3 (two others are identical, two others are very similar apart from one has soft feathers the other hard!)

Lovely girls, really healthy looking

[lettucegrow!]

Of course like any good mum you can tell them all apart,can't you??! They all look very similar but very beautiful. I'm already trying work out if I could fit in a little red hen with my new girls!!

[RedThorn]

LOL Lettucegrow.... it's contagious ain't it!

They're bootiful and their comb's are starting to come through too

[vicky]

They're lovely! (I missed their arrival too!) Really glossy healthy looking, well done!

[MaureenHall]

Are they coming out to play today Mum?

[Flummery]

Day 3 - Gosh I'm sounding like Time Team! They are coming out tomorrow Maureen. They have settled down really well, don't seem stressed at all, and Garnet (I can nearly tell them apart!) let me stroke her kneck this morning!

The 2 dark ones are Ruby and Garnet and the 2 paler, more gingery ones are Topaz and Amber. So at the moment I can usually tell it's one of 2! Once they come out and develop their own personalities (and aren't heaped up together in a feathery ball!) I should be able to tell.

looking good Flum, you'll just never have time to do anything else now youve got them, I spend hours just sat looking/talking to my girls, beats talking to OH sometimes though
