Oh dear!
Having gone out to check food and water levels in the rearers’ run, I discovered that Polands like the mud! It appears to have been used as hair gel for their crests; enabling them to keep their feathers out of their eyes.

My little pride and joy immaculately gorgeous chicks are now a bunch of filthy pre-pubescent slobs!!
You might say that I asked for it moving them off of the grass, but I did this to avoid cleaning up their muck while we had guests over for the weekend - I assure you I will not be making this mistake again!

The Annoying Burbler, has insisted on constantly pointing out that they are chickens and chickens are supposed to be mucky, but i disagree. These are designer chickens, they are show birds - they are not the mud wrestling commoners to which he refers! Although I must say the silver laced hens are holding up pretty well (their colour prevents you seeing the mud).

I am considering flooring their run! I am certain this will prevent a replay of the horrendous sight with which I was faced. People have been known to laugh at the way I treat my birds. Apparently cooking for them is showing my more eccentric side and talking to them (as well as answering them) just makes me mad, but I say they are bigger and better looking than most birds of their age and they are also friendlier too, so I shall continue to do so.
Anyway, I think I will go and see how they react to a sponge bath. I may not be quite so popular in an hour or so!
