Everyone say hello to 2 new members of the FBA community!

The breeder let us know their were day-olds available last night at 8 pm. I spoke to them this morning at 8:30. The place was 90 minutes away by car. When we got there there were 5 left. These two appear to be pullets, fingers crossed. They are Polish barnyard mixes. I have no idea what they will look like when they grow up.

They have applied themselves to trying to jump up on the top of their heater.

Everyone say hello to little Nimue. The first to make it to the top.

Oh wow! Gorgeous!

I think the rabbits have killed mine, they have ringed they bark off the tree I noticed. I’ll see if I get flowers then cut it back - again.

You know what’s gonna happen to bunnies right?

They don’t look pure game bird.

Gosh they are so cute.

Why not ceramic? I would love one of those.

Ceramic is solidly hard. The stainless sinks seem not to damage as much. Of course if we're clumsy anything will break... My preference is stainless steel over 40 yrs now. But ceramics are very pretty!

Wish I could find the pic of Violet getting washed in our stainless sink but can't find it now! I'll post later if I find it!

VIOLET

I have a synthetic plasti-crete sink I love, easy to clean, wish I could get feed dishes made of this!

Mum had named her mums chickens Dick, Jane and Sally. She would push them around in the pram

Mottled polish?! Oh, be still my heart! Thing 1 & 2 minus the beard and extra toe! (The black back on the yellow body usually feathers out that way). Now I'm biting my nails waiting to see if they live up to that

I have no idea what they will look like. It's going to be so exciting to see!
