Hi,
New UK member.
I have owned chickens for 2 years now.
I currently have 10 laying hens, 2 pullets due to lay next month and 2x 4 month old boys.
All my chickens have names as they free range my garden.
I have crested cream legbar cockerel called a Pebbles I hatched out this April and a black copper maran cockerel called François.
I hatched put with Pebbles two pullets a ccl hen called Poppy and one I bred with a polish cock bird I had (he was aggressive, big brain no heart but I did find roovolution to help with my current two) and crossed him with a white leghorn. She is called Sugar drop aka Lemon Pop (my family nicknamed her lemon Pop when she was a chick as we didn’t know if it was a boy or girl good job it was a girl nobody could’ve eaten it!)
My 10 hens
1 brown -Hoot
2 white leghorns- Snowdrop & Daisy
1 bluebell-Bluebell
1 Silver Sussex- Sylvia
1 white Sussex - Sparky (there is a reason behind that name)
2 barred chickens I don’t really know their breeds either cuckoo maran or barred rock or one of each I think- Rowena & Diana (note to self if you give them fancy names they have attitude)
1 gold-laced polish frizzle bantam-Willow
1 silver laced polish bantam-Flora-May.
I do currently have a male chick that will have to be eaten. He was a cross between Pebbles and Willow. I got 6x posted CCL eggs and as I have a 7 egg incubator I put in one of ours to try and not get a lone chick but no ccl hatched sadly.
I also have 2 cats!
I decided to join this forum for when I need help with sick chickens like now.
Thank you!
