2 broodys

Roo from last years hatch

Well done Roxy, so proud of you!!

My other friesian hen went broody a while ago just after her sister Ronnie hatched hers and today, FINALLY one hatched, seem's like she's been sitting on the eggs for months and ive missed her so much as she was on top of a big 12ft wall, but i climbed up there every couple of days to check on her and suprise suprise today was the day :) after she had been sitting today in the pouring rain but keeping them babies warm and dry, so proud of her.... now we will see if the rest hatch. 
I name the first one sunshine as today the weather was horrible and rainy but after i looked under Roxy the sun came out :)

Well done Roxy.... pics to come when they are all hatched and fluffed up as i will be moving them to Ronnie's old brooder!

The latest.

- My bubba Angel got strampled to death after being left in my donkeys stable. R.I.P Rodney managed to survive the night but ended up with a broken leg but he is doing fine walking with a limp but is doing well.

-Black has not stopped growing and is HUGE now!!

The latest additions....

A polish mix and some sort of bearded breed.
Both pullets :)


love love love them!!

RODNEY & ANGEL GROWING UP!! & Roxy and Peter pics.

Oh... my babies are now big :(   i cannot believe how fast they grow up, rodney is looking lovely and Angel is always looking 'daz' white. They are so funny together and they cannot be appart, even if one cant the other they screech from the top of there lungs then when they see eachother they just run. There both just like little kids, always playing: chasing eachother, running down hills, flying off things (tractor, muckheap,gates...) chasing flys.  there just so funny... 

A few pics from the other day to show how big they are now...

Angel having a drink.

Rodney, he now has the orange feathers on his head aswel.



A pic of Roxy.



A great stance from Peter.

Ryan relaxing!!

My cockerel Ryan loves to sunbathe, hmm strange. he actually lays on his side in the sun and stretches out his wing and his legs and closes his eyes. Its so funny to see him so relaxed, until my other cockerel Peter comes along then he gets up and goes back to patroling the run and amking sure all his girls are still there and that Peter hasn't stolen any ;)
