Beautiful chickens!! Thanks for sharing!

I'm really pleased you like them

They're great - they follow me all the time. When I go back in the house they explore the garden but when I'm there they go where I go

It's so cute

They do have some space now but soon won't be let free range - they would ruin my vegetables I think

But I will let them out when I'm in the garden.

I took the chicks out today, too:

And my little "bent" roo

(his toes on one foot are curled):

Sorry for poor quality of pics but they're so active and quick...

domino7 - ask for that breed if you have enough space (they can't live in small runs), you want chickens which can take care of themselves (it's been reported they can go as far as 1 km from the coop searching for food and then come back, they need lots of greens), are hardy but they're not such excellent layers like sex links (180- 190 eggs per year). However, their eggs are low in cholesterol (30%) and are delicious

GLP chickens are not big birds - my hens are about 1,6 - 1,8 kg and I don't think they eat that much, at least of feed. Mine don't like chicken feed but maybe they're just spoiled

. They're always ready for some weeds though

Wow what beautiful hens you have. I had an EE/OEG Bantam mix that looked very similar with identical coloring. She had a rose comb and no wattles however. I love seeing pics of other peoples birds so thanks for posting!!
