2nd Lot of New Chicks!

These little ones were born on the 21st of October.  They are being looked after by a black pekin, who although is not friendly, is doing a wonderful job!  We are calling these 2 lovely ones Sonia and Tracey!  Sonia is the yellow one (looks like Abby) and Tracey has a few black markings ( a bit like Cheepy) .  It will be really interesting to see how they develop colour wise

New Chicks

On the 15th of October my first two cochins arrived into the world!!  First photos were taken this morning, the 24th of October!

Weeeeeeee!

Gosh they're cute!

Hubby built this yesterday!! 

Must keep those foxes away.

Their "Mum" is Fraser, she is the best pekin Mum I've got.  Can do anything with her and she just trusts me, doesn't ever peck.  Lovely hen.

Have called the chicks Abby and Cheepy!

I've started this diary to help me keep track of my cochins.  They are very precious to me!!

Chicko was born in October 2009.  She was fast, very fast especially compared to the bantams!

Hee hee!

In April 2009 I purchased George.  He was born about Nov 09.  The photo of George and Chicko together has Pekin Bantams Ebony and her chick Gracie in the back ground.  We still have Ebony!
