3 pekins bathed for Herts Show on Saturday

Recommended Posts

Excellent :D I'm so glad that you are showing too!

 

Most of my birds are in breeding pens but I have managed to find two that dont look too scruffy and they are bathed and relaxing in a run of shavings up to their tummies so they stay clean :lol:

 

See you at the show :dance:

I'm going to the Surrey Show near Guildford on Monday. I've entered some eggs and Pebbles GNR so she'll be getting a spruce up at the weekend. We've been practising being held so she's not a flapping freak. I think she's lovely but then I am her mummy. Just hoping they all pull their wattles out and get on with their best, poop free, egg production in the next few days.

My bantam eggs came 2nd :dance: Redwing's came 1st and there were 6 entries so not too shabby :clap: I didn't expect my white pekins to come anywhere as their feet looked pretty rubbish - but I would rather they ran round the garden all day than have to be cooped up to keep clean :D

Pebbles came 2nd out of 3,

 

!eggblue! came 1st for colour

!egggreen! came 2nd for araucana

!eggcream! (pink really) came 3rd twice for colour and then shell & contents

!eggbrown! came 2nd for contents

 

What a proud mummy, extra meal worms all round last night.

 

Someone even asked if I had any Welsummers for sale as they liked the look of her so much.

Well done Daxigirl :clap: A woman at our poultry club who has long been a very good egg shower (but then she has 100 birds to choose from :shock: ) said she especially liked winning contents or internal/external classes because then you know you must be doing something right. The quality of the egg is a reflection of your regime :D

 

Going off topic a bit, I have just noticed your signature, what a varied selection you have. Tell me, what are the crevecoeurs like to keep?

They hatched the same time as the La Fleches so I used to call the four of them little Mexican jumping beans, they used to come out and zoom about. They're now about 6/7 weeks and are rather chilled. One has big hair the other not so big so they look a bit Polandish at the moment. Easy to catch. The big hair one is more friendly and will jump up for a cuddle on your lap. No idea what sex they are though.
