Take part in study on PFAS 'forever chemicals' in eggs

[Redwing]

Sorry - I bet you are are fed up with pics of barred Wyandottes but I cant resist posting these of my fab boy Jack at the Northern Show today

 

The Northern show hosts the Wyandotte Club show - its the one that everyone who shows Wyandottes wants to win. Jack won best barred Wyandotte and reserve champion in the club show (over 200 entries)

 

My other birds did well - a pullet won first in her class and I also won two seconds and a third

 

It was lovely to see some Omleteers there too, a few cuppas were supped

 

A really wonderful day, I thoroughly enjoyed it - it makes getting up at 5am every day totally worth it......... sort of!

Jack really is a picture perfect bird, well done you , but how do you get him to just stand there for his photo next to the cup?

[daxigirl]

What a poseur. Still it can be forgiven when he's that good looking.

[Redwing]

Thanks everyone

 

Ita easy to photograph chickens, if you put one anywhere that they are unfamiliar with the chances are they will stand still as they seem unsure of what to do next!! after a few mins they will start moving though It helps that my show birds are handled regularly too I suppose

[LeeMeadfan]

he's gorgeous - congrats to you both!

[Daphne]

Tasha - congratulations; its incredibly well deserved

 

Its been really inspiring to follow your journey from rescuing a garden centre cockeral who then turned out to be a winner, to breeding your own and having success with them too. You must have a very good eye to understand the minute details of your chosen breed so quickly, as well as excellent practical skills! What's really encouraging is you started out quite recently as a backyard girl and it shows what can be done, although I don't think many people would get to the top so fast! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and being so generous with your top tips. You must be thrilled
