I just love our millefleur sablepoot bantams
They are nice got a young pair on saturday at a big poultry fair but unfortunatly I will be unable to keep the rooster because I live in a housing estate.

Dont worry. Yeah a dog crate is a good idea. It should put her off being broody because its not the most comfortable thing to sit in. Keep her in that and seltered for about three days. This should put her off the idea.
Hope this helps

Hi
Today we gota sablepoot bantam pair and welsummer hen bantam beautiful birds. The sable poots are still very young but the rooster seems to have a long top of beak that goes over lower part and down. Would you advice trimming or would it wear down after being out a while?

Hi is
Good idea. Its the only way for me but to have a selection of poultry but thanks I will be careful.Do you mean its the only way for you 'cos of the selection to choose from?
You can get the same selection at sales pens in shows (and generally better quality that sales), if you did.
Where abouts are you? Maybe people could suggest a local breeder/show
Hi Ilive in Northern Ireland and I am not aware of any special sale shows.
Thanks

Mum made plain buns using the eggs from our banties and they taste delightful. I dont know whether its because its our own produce.
