Mine are LF and I promised I would never have a brahma because of their size. Well I fell in love with a couple of dark,then a gold, a blue laced,then buffs then I had seven. Thats not including the two 5 week olds I have in the shed and six fertile ones due to hatch Friday. Do I keep them, well...... I can't see me letting them go. I'm sure you know what I mean.

My six are due friday, all look to be doing well, I'll see if the mum is in a good mood and candle them later. My two little ones (5 weeks) seem to be 1 gold hen and 1 dark cockerel. Another cockerel, help....No, I'll just tell the family its just a very large hen. Look forward to seeing your pics.

The eggs were posted to UK and bought over same day by friend in his car. It was beginners luck I think. (Borrowed incubator). My new incuabator is not proving so easy. The chicks are really lovely. Dont know how to put photos on. Can anyone direct me to instructions please? Back to top Sylvia Moderator Joined: 06 Oct 2006 Posts: 1054 Location: Nr.

As long as you have photos loaded on your computer, look underneath you the box you type your message in and you will see Add image to post this will open in a new page that allows you to browse your photos and insert the one you want. Having a big hoo hah with FT myself over phone and internet problems so know what you mean, BT seems so efficient after dealing with FT Thanks for letting me know about the eggs, unfortunately all our friends fly over, I will have to look at some other way of getting some.

I also had never thought I would come to think of BT as particularly efficient. They have promised that it will be fixed within a week or so. Mmmm need a picture of a flying pig here. Once phone and computer are all sorted will sort out pictures and post.
