boys - orpington bantam frizzlesboys - orpington bantam frizzlesAt nearly 9 weeks old it wont be long till the 6 chicks I hatched go off to the breeder
as agreed & she will try & home them. knowing this I've enjoyed them but tried not to get too attached...but yesterday sitting in the sun with dear little Berty snuggled into my hand I realise I've failed!! I accept that as all 3 frizzles are boys it may be hard to find them homes so I thought I'd give them a better chance by showing them off here. This is their hatching story - viewtopic.php?f=88&t=46252" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is curly, his name says it all. He is an amazing looking frizzle and friendly but shy. This is Patrick, though he didn't come out frizzled (apart from 1 feather!) he carries the frizzle gene so would probably produce frizzle babies. He's still not fully feathered but is growing a mixture of amazing colours, green tinged wings, dark red on his back, mottled cream wingtips, I think he's going to be very beautiful (if he gets a chance) He is very tame And last but not least is the gorgeous Berty, a funny looking boy like a well worn feather duster, but he is the tamest & loves the warmth of a hand or a lap, he loves dustbaths (especially my plant pots!) he's been crowing from 7 weeks old, croaky but surprisingly tuneful. The other boy - Major Gold, makes up a trio of gold-lace so I feel he has a good chance of being homed. But these 3 odd-bods need to find a back garden flock that would like something a little different wandering around. If anyone is interested please let me know, it will be about another 3 weeks or so before I let them go. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.

chicks for can no longer take them due to some health problems with her flock! She's trying to help me find them homes but in the meantime I'm stuck with 4 little cockerels that are growing fast. I love them all dearly, they're so cuddly & I'll be sad to see each one go, but my garden isn't big enough for more than one boy. here's some up to date pics This is Goldy, the little gold laced girl Miss Brown hangs about with him all the time I'd love to see them homed as a couple (they're half siblings) Curly, those feathers are sooo soft Berty and little Patrick "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.
