Checked her this afternoon and there are three leghorn x's She's still sat on the other 5, fingers crossed they will hatch as well considering the horrible weather we have had it's amazing anything managed to hatch Now I just need the other 2 broodies to hatch Last edited by debcat on Fri Aug 19, 2005 9:36 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:03 pm    Post subject: Ahw bless, pics when you can Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 10:09 pm    Post subject: Well done Debcats chook !!!

Oh go on, you know you want to, and after all, the ones you have now will all be gone in a few years time, so better start growing on replacements Back to top Deb_Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 3661 Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 5:15 pm    Post subject: knobby wrote: I must keep saying to myself......

That way they will be full grown by the time I get there for a visit and then I can see how pretty they are!
