grannys gone and done it

[Yorkshire Coop]

forgot, you should also keep all the tolbunt hens. You know how they lay.

Knowing my luck all four will be boys!

I sure he is and that Tolbunt too. Yeah I hose and rake it so all the crap falls through and gets washed away. Only trouble is the stones have a membrane underneath which does trap some of the water. I'm selling all the other chicks barring the four Tolbunt so I'm hoping they will all be sold before it gets too messy.
No takers yet though at £4 per chick

you got more then 4 didnt you ? I thought you hatched like 7 or more tolbunts ? So the rock floor isnt the answer for me either . I think I need sand. I might just have to keep buying peat as it has a lot of sand in it. I cant buy enough just sand.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

No doubting its full blooded !!! And possibly tolbunt colors . Dont make it a tolbunt but suits me !!

It does have tolbunt colors. .. OK, I just wanted to look at it again.

12 hatched out of so called "Tolbunt eggs" as they have feathered out though only four are real Tolbunt. The others are gold lace with an odd feather of white. There are even two black ones in there!!

Three of the Tolbunt ~

The stones are easy untill they need doing

And kiss it and snuggle it!

York, I promise you, The white is the last thing to come. Give it a while . Did you contact the seller ? Getting all black is way off base. they should breed true. Maybe she will send you more eggs ?

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

The way they are NOT selling I will end up with them for a while longer. So will see how they finish up. I didn't contact her as I'd already had hassle with the other eggs. Just not in the mood for more hassle right now. Plus these were collected eggs she don't post them so it would have been another long round trip to get more

I did see though that she had posted over 100 chicks for sale as a job lot so not sure what is going off with her.

That might end up being prettier than a tolbunt. Hope you get some more like it! Is it possible this one will have flippy feathers (frizzle?)
