Lovely
gorgeous and such a comfort after losing your henny family
Congratulations on a thriving family! Love the different colours.
Beautiful. Have you managed to come up with 13 names yet?
A bit soon. We’ll know when they start to be a bit more distinguishable and show their individual personalities,
Chicks: ‘He’s been away for a couple of days. Definitely looks older, and strangely frazzled. Very noticeable.’
They are adorable
When do they start earning their keep by laying eggs?
I know that they are more pets than layers before anyone thinks I mean that question
And I still want henses
What is wrong with the Cellar Bantams?
Tell me about it!
They’re both!
Usually around eighteen weeks - so round about the end of October / start of November.
A bit later, of course, other things may happen…
Hurrah!
Hoorah indeed!
“Nah then, you need to learn some basic life skills. So there are three cups and just one seed…”
I love em all but the ones with fevvery feets are just adorable
Which one of the henny family had fevvery feets?
Of these - all of them! Just a bit more profuse on some.
Tricky to work out exactly what the lineage is - the feathered legs could be from Bran or, further back, the silkie line. And Bran himself was (probably) part silkie too. Kiki - the Cochin roo - is also in the mix.
I am just delighted to see them all running happily and doing henny things
Lovely!
Just so happy that you got the henny family descendants Joe
And they are just gorgeous
Any ideas how many girls and boys there are?
