tom123 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well, if we are all admitting to things then I thought I better! As you all know I hatched some polish bantams a couple of months back which sadly died after a power cut. Well my friend who raised them has offered to 'repay' me for them by hatching some more out. Well the incubator takes 60 bantam eggs. So we currently have these lined up to go in and have 1/2 dozen more we are going to buy... 6 Blue Buff Colombian Brahma bantams 12 Salmon Faverolle bantams 30 Pekins. Blue, Black, Splash, Wheaton, Red, Mottled, Lavender Mottled. 6 Frizzles. Various colours I will be having nearly all the resulting girls as well Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yes you lucky devil indeed! I have the incubators, I just need more land - then I can keep & breed a lot lot more. I need to move now, not in 4 years time! Fingers crossed for lots of girls, but boys can also be beautiful & useful for carrying on the breeds & good genes! Good luck!

TAJ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Tom - just remember any more than 50 live birds in your flock and you MUST register with DEFRA! And that isn't 50 chickens, it is 50 feathered birds, so ducks & geese add to the chicken tally. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
