A bunch of littlies & a dirty great frizzle.

You are doing this for each chicken right? I mean everyone gets their turn to be chicken of the week. It isn’t a breed thing.

No it's not a breed thing but the first chicken of each breed means the breed gets mentioned a bit.

What a beautiful decoration. Are you sure you can't wear it in the garden like that?

I will give it a go. He likes to sleep undisturbed and might get grumpy (as he does if I ever set the alarm too early)!

Good evening everyone

CHOOK OF THE WEEK.
This week's chook is Ha'penny.
Ok, we all know I'm biased. I adore this breed. They are stunningly beautiful & actually
pretty good layers. Their medium sized eggs are white.
The Campines originated in a Belgium village near Antwerp & were simply considered another village chicken until the Brits got hold of them & developed an exhibition bird.

Campines come in silver or gold. Both are gorgeous! The males are hen feathered ~ which just means they have the same feathering as females.​

Ha'penny arrived with her sister, Tuppence, as POLs the 1st week of April 2019, so she is now one of my older girls.

Campines have a reputation for being flighty & screamers & definitely non~broody.
I have found they settle considerably on beginning to lay & if enough time is spent with them these less desirable characteristics diminish considerably. And don't believe the non~broody rap!

The thing about Campines, especially the golds, is that they are incredibly rare. They are an endangered breed & not really suitable for a small suburban backyard. These girls are great foragers, pretty good fliers, incredibly smart & like to have a large territory to free range in..​

She is another very pretty girl I love learning about each one during their special week. I look forward to learning more.
