my god you need a zoo , or kennels, your garden must be huge, but yes they are pekins my girlfriend liked the fluffy feet thing, we feed them chicken pellets ,maize,and left over veggies, they like beetroot,

try switching them to layers ,i had the orp buff's and cochin's and they never layed until i switched over , how old are they ?? yes i need a zoo and thats just for the wife

i like the wife thing , i think they are about 8 months old , and what do you mean about switching them too layers,

ogawa only

switch them to layers pellets , as even if they dont lay due to the temp , this will get them into condition to lay once the temp goes up
