Ribh's D'Coopage

[Shadrach]

Everybody did eventually make it downstairs this morning. My GLW was 1st out & about. Then the Vorwerks, followed by the SLWF. It took a while but the white frizzle was next followed by her sister. The Japanese were last & very cautious.

Those tinies have a real thing for roosting in the food dishes. The others just stuff their faces in around them!

And not forgetting my big girls who are all a little put out so much attention is going to the other coop.

That feather duster in the feed bin is a lovely touch.

Names are proving enigmatic.
This little girl is definitely Titania.

Her sister is insisting she's Olive/Olivia...​

The Vorwerks are taken care of.
This little one is Ceres.

Good choices although Dessi doesn't look very impressed.

She is the 1st one I grabbed out of the carrier so she was pretty freaked out though incredibly easy to handle. I was very impressed with her. I couldn't have handled a Campine like that!

They are like tiny fairies & those feathered feet are hysterical!

I'm charmed with them all. Now if Shad will just stop wishing fliers on me...

And in the middle of the night it occurred to me I need some names. I thought I might go Shakespearean so if you have a favourite Shakespearean lady list her here. I might decide one of the new girls looks like a good fit.

Cleopatra, of course!
Helena
Isadore
octavia
Ursula

I'm on a boat. Not home quite yet but @BY Bob has a lot to answer for. I have 8.

I can’t wait to see them!

 

[LaFemmeKatia]

These are the 6 I asked Natasha to hold for me: L~R A splash Japanese bantam; a silver laced Wyandotte frizzle; an Aracauna/Belgian X frizzle; a gold laced Wyandotte; a Belgian duccle frizzle & a Japanese bantam.

You may all now start praying for me ~ Shad excepted given his convictions. He can be on standbye for when I need sound, sane advice & a quick kick up the cabooshie because Natasha wasn't joking when she told me *young pullets* ! They're off heat but are still basically chicks. We had to stop @ the produce store [wonderful country people who understood my panic @ not knowing which brand of chick starter I needed & sorted it all out for me!] because they are all still on chick starter. I've never had hens this young before! Panic button now hit but I'm prepared to give it a go!

@BY Bob! What did you do to me?!

They are beautiful!

These two are the extras. Extra kudos if you know what they are.Vorwerks

I know no~one who has them & was unsure about how they would fit in but the man was keen because they were golden rather than the B&W I seem to keep going for.

They haven't been in Australia long so are still considered quite rare. I think I must be quite mad.

These two are very pretty, and very unusual. I have never seen chickens like them (well, with all my vast experience...)
What are they? Anyone?
