Unsecure chicken perches

[Redwing]

I went to collect Fred Wilma and Betty from Middlesborough as planned on Saturday

 

I went from Middlesborough to Mostins house then the Northern show yesterday where I was competing against THE man in Barred Wyandotte bantams who kindly gave me feedback on Tarzan and Jane and then mentioned he only lived five minutes away....

 

Somehow between the show and HEN's get together (at her house afterwards) two more chickens got in to the car.........not sure what happened

 

So five new chickens made it home last night

 

Got home to find that hubby had done a wonderful job of midwife and we have four fluffy bouncing chicks too so Tarzan is a dad

 

I have pics, will upload at lunchtime

Congratulations on the new additions. Look forward to the pictures.

We are looking to expand our little posse, may I ask where in Middlesbrough did you get your newbies?

[Lewis]

Spill the beans ... what are they?

[Redwing]

They are all barred Wyandotte bantams

 

Introducing:

 

Fred, Wilma and Betty

 

Wilma is a county show champion, Fred is from top stock and Betty is a baby, just 12 weeks old, Wilma is Betty's mum

 

 

and..... Two as yet un-named pullets from THE man in barred Wyandotte banties (IMHO)

 

 

And finally, Tarzan checking out his kids

Stunning birds Tasha

[Plum]

Wow beautiful, is Fred related to Tarzan? Tarzan is going to have his nose put out of joint.

 

That's a lovely picture of Tarzan and the chickies.

[Falkor]

WOW!!!

 

They are gorgeous Tasha!!!!

 

Betty and those chickies would fit in my pocket!

[emchook]

Oh WOW .. I want one ! two ! no at least three !!

[Space Chick]

Oh doesn't Tarzan look the proud Dad

 

They are all lovely Tasha

[Lewis]

Looking good! Will they eventually be together, or separate little families?

 

 

Seeing that made me wish we asked for 1x1" mesh instead of 1x1/2

[Seagazer]

Gorgeous looking birds, YS said they look like zebras

[Saronne]

They are lovely, Tasha.

I'm not sure, def not all together as the cockerels are already gunning for each other but who will go with who I am not sure, they have to stay as three groups at the moment in case they have picked anything up

[laurmurf]

a very successful trip up north then!
