Redwing Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited January 18, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Looking good! Will they eventually be together, or separate little families? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
