Janty Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It's me! I'm jinxed. Shanks II declared his manhood to the world this morning. I called the breeder and she took him back tonight but she only had babies and nothing suitable to go in with the other hens so she gave me a second girl to keep the replacement company. Meet Shanks III She (fingers crossed ) is a blue egg laying bantam. And here is Rafa Henitas, the Vorwerk bantam. And here they are enjoying a snuggle.

Falkor Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Oh Janty! The boys must have a thing for you! The newbies look very sweet though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I know. Shank II was gorgeous but I have been saying to Hubby that it was only a matter of time before he crowed. The tail feathers were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You are something of a man magnet Janty. The new hens are lovely. Have clocked the other hens on the windowsill.......and am deeply envious of your Stressless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Shame about Shanks II but MkIII looks gorgeous! Can't see the other pics though..... ! Once it had reloaded after my posting the piccies were there in all their glory Gorgeous, I hope my babies-to-be are as cuddly, all my big girls are very nosy but not at all cuddly!!

zmurffi Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 They are so cute - I can't wait to get mine in August. I hope I can get to cuddle mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Some of my other babies are downright unfriendly. I'm determined to keep these two all fluffy and nice (although to be fair it is only the two light sussex hens that are aloof). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
