Thursday 11th October 2012 |
Main event of the day was letting Elvis's brood out of their run to join in the fun with all the other poultry. I kept an eye on them for a while, just to make sure none of the cockerels took a dislike to them, but it was quickly clear that they are strong and independent little things. I have witnessed this at feeding time, when they literally climb over my hands and arms to be first into the feed bowl!
Elvis keeps a watchful eye over her brood. |
The chicks were very bold and quick to explore. |
Priscilla and her 3 chicks. They've started to get their wing feathers now. I should be able to work out their parentage soon. |
The 2 Crested Cream Legbar hens along with the ridiculously hair-styled Polands. |
On the left: we still have eleven healthy keets. On the right: Two Cream Legbar hens, two Polands and the stripy one is one of Priscilla's last brood. How quickly they grow! |
