Wifey wanted some bantums....

[edster951]

So I went out to the local aiction site and bought 4, mother hen and 3 chicks.

Here they are...

And here is fugly..

So what do I have here, I know fugly is some sort of frizzle...and the third one seems to be a roo.

They are couped out the back in a seperate run/coup I put together in a few hours out of an old dog kennel.

I don't know, but I sure love 'em! They are precious! I'm going to subscribe to this thread to see what everybody else thinks. Congratulations!

Theres something about fugly that is just beyond cute. That would have been the one I picked first...lol. I would love to see pics as she grows up. Cute flock

It seems unusual to be able to pick up a chicken with one hand...

they're a bit flighty at the moment, but hopefully they will get to realise I mean them no harm.

Mungrels as I call them
And now 4 bantums.

Clipped the mother hens wing yesterday, as she keeps flying out the run, and gets seen to by the bigger girls. Hoefully she'll still be in the coup tonight.
