Buff Orpington? Beautiful birds, but quite lazy I believe

[gothicgurrrl]

yes that's the one
haha he isn't lazy.. he is very occupied being housed in a paddock filled with hens .. and two very annoying geese ^ ^

[Jill]

Magrat - one of the Miss Pepperpots, and layer of the brown eggs

[gothicgurrrl]

wow she's pretty

[Jordan]

Jordan, I think she knows how to upload the photos.. but she needs to resize them before they will upload ??

The way i described, before clicking 'Submit' there is a drop down box at the bottom which allows you to choose a resize format for your photo, Choose either 600px, or if needed go smaller.

Ooops, a bit too much motion here, but this is one of the Gingernut Rangers. Not sure which one as the only difference is in their tail feathers at the moment, although I think it might be Gytha. You can see their Eglu Cube in the background.

[Jill]

The original fours girls and their Cube about a week aftey arrived.

[Jill]

So the 800 is too big? Ooops, sorry!

And I used to have grass before it turned to mud.....

[Jill]

And the new girls - just a couple of days after they arrived. The day of the first egg, and it was one of theirs!! No names for these yet, but it'll come to me. Look at those crests on the Cream Legbars

[Kermit]

Very interesting. I think the same people that make your chicken cube also make something similar for rabbits.

[eeji]

a chicken is a chicken. They are nice when they're roasted.

....and that is the sum total of my chicken knowledge!

[Jill]

Thanks, Ian! I'll get you back on your own forum!!!BWAHAHAHAA

[Jill]

Yes, Kermit they do. Omlet make the Eglu Go, Classic and Cube for chickens, and different adaptions of the classic for rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks and quail.

The Classis is absolutely gorgeous, and I WAS going to get one but decided that although I don't want quite as many hens as the cube will take I did want to give them much more room than they'd have in the smaller housing.

[Jill]

wow she's pretty

Thank you She was my favourite until the little ones arrived, and then I saw how she bullied them just as much as the other girls did. But she is still the friendliest of the bunch, the first one I held, and the first chicken to lay.....so I guess she is still my favourite

[Jordan]

Thank you She was my favourite until .....

....so I guess she is still my favourite

[Jill]

Ok for all us NON-CHicken folks around here how's about some pix to go with all these names... legbar what?? Cream crested who??

I like..




and this guy... I just call 'em the Chickenator (like the Terminator...)

I think the first one is a Silkie, the second is a Poland, and the last one looks like it might be a black Orpington, although I think there is something similar - but I can't remember what it is...sorry

[gothicgurrrl]

Well.. I said I would take a photo of the buff orpington at college when I got the chance.. sooo I did It was differcult because my camera can't zoom and everytime I walked up to him, he ran off

Isn't he beautiful?? He stands out sooo much.. he's a lovely golden colour ^ ^

[Kermit]

He is very pretty... like Goldilox

[Jill]

He is gorgeous, wish my neighbours would let me have a male

[gothicgurrrl]

hahaha thanks
I would love a chicken like him
