Yay! They sure look to be settling into their new situation fine. I’m sure the water, shade, and feed are greatly appreciated after such a long hot trip!

Very focused on just meeting their needs this afternoon but the Araucanas seem to be easily handled, according to breed specs, the Wyandottes, less so & the Campines not @ all. They have all really appreciated the sand & leaf litter. The pens they were in were slimy mud baths. Not blaming the keeper so much. 150m overnight for days so everywhere is absolutely sodden. I'm having issues with my own pen for the 1st time ever.

We were working out how much land we had last night because our flock is now over 12 but it seems we're all good ~ which is just as well. As we were coming home the man, who was adamant I get all the birds I wanted in one hit [I've finally explained why staggering is better] tells me I am to get some more Gold Campines & another Lottie. Apparently they're his favourites & he wants more. So it seems I will be sending my original breeder an email asking her to let me know when her Campines become available again. The man has succumbed to chicken math & not only does he not know it, he doesn't even keep chickens!

They're gorgeous!!

I can't tell who's a campine and who's a wyandotte in the photos... Must try harder.

hello new chooks!

 

[MaryJanet]

I guess it's too soon to know what their names are?

The last photo in the group is a wyandotte. The Campines have white heads.

So far I have a Hermione [definitely] & a Roxy [maybe] Now tell me which breed got those monikers.

 

[MaryJanet]

I know I'm going to get this wrong but... The araucanas?

 

[MaryJanet]

Have they been dust bathing yet?
