Astrid watched Lavender eat a bit of strawberry before remembering she was meant to be top chook and squawked a warning. Lavender legged it away but it's a first step! Yesterday I'm sure Astrid wouldn't have let her near. Maybe she is working out that Lavender is actually a chicken and not a dangerous intruder like those pesky wild parrots?<br />Phoebe, yup they lay blue eggs - I got her from Suburban chooks but there are loads of breeders about depending on what sort you're after! What are you thinking of? Looking forward to seeing yours ann. Will keep an eye out!littlekarstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177535712034761585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442590938178624983.post-45039511134740366362011-03-07T16:56:59.712+11:002011-03-07T16:56:59.712+11:00Poor wee girl.

It's a shame there weren't 2, that way she would have had company. But keep at it! I've introduced many chickens to chickens and it's always worked. She's such a pretty wee thing. I have three araucanas that are just a few weeks old and I must admit to getting terribly attached to them, they're very cute!Laura @ Our Wee Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240391312194055909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442590938178624983.post-48240859465180704612011-03-07T16:39:22.037+11:002011-03-07T16:39:22.037+11:00She is so beautiful!

You're good to give little Lavender her own "safe space" - I've found Skippy, my sweetheart, with a bloody comb on more than one occasion and it makes me SO mad with my long-time resident girls. I just want to give them all spankings! lolDannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.com
