Angela's Avian Adventures
Angela's Avian AdventuresDunno where to start, I'm a farmers daughter and have been brought up with all livestock. Got back into poultry keeping about 3 years ago.
Hensville Quite a little village with Quail Cottage on the right. The Hen Hut We rescued from the bonfire, added my own special touch on the eves. Miss Dot Rosecomb, note the large pearl earrings ! The mob ! Phoebe who is never camera shy and was intrigued by the shines iPad ! Angela

They're Rosecombs they are so sweet about the same size as a crow, only prettier ! King Richard the third bred them apparently. I've joined the Rosecomb Society although I only have 3 ! Angela

Usually Barking Up the Wrong Tree Re: Angela's Avian AdventuresLovely photos Angela, your hen village is great
The last photo is really sweet, poppy looks like she's really enjoying herself The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have

She thinks she's white all over ! She does have a little black bit on her tail too, which we're having to do a "comb over " cos it's gone bald ! Angela

Re: Angela's Avian AdventuresAbsolutely wonderful pictures Angela.
What pretty little ladies you have with the big eyes and earrings I love the picture of the little henny wandering down the lane of Hennsville. Gorgeous picture of your pooch too and what a fantastic painting you did of her, what a talented lady you are Bev x
Our family: my-Lovely-Hubbly and I, Benny and our two little Ladies - Betty and Gloria. RIP dear little Ladies - Lottie, Cottie, Elsie, Dottie, Hilda and Margie. You may have gone, but are never ever forgotten.
Re: Angela's Avian Adventures
Thankyou again for the compliments. The little girls, Rose, Dot and Leroy are Rosecombs they are so sweet not much bigger than a black bird. I'm in taming process, Dot is quite laid back and will nibble mealworms while I give her stroke and cuddle, Rose is still a bit unsure but will talk to me, while Leroy goes rigid ! They wander around the garden talking to each other, tuckertucktuck. I want more, but I've never bred anything before, except my 2 daughters, and I think they're a bit tricky that's the Rosecombs AND my daughters Angela
