Space Chick Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I hatched this year, having got some hatching eggs from a fabulous Wyandotte bantam breeder As I am at sexing age, have a few boys, although these are the 2 girls I hatched. This is Deanna - she a chocolate wyandotte bantam This is Tasha - a barred wyandotte bantam These are the two chicks that I bought today to add to my other girls and ensure a decent number of girls This is Maria - a chocolate barred wyandotte bantam This is Rani - a silver pencilled wyandotte bantam. They are stunning birds, as are the other birds the breeder had, she also had some lovely point of lay crossbreeds... If only I had more space. It's a heck of a trek to go there for me from South Wales as it's in Northamptonshire, but worth it for such beautiful birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 They're sooooo nice!! I especially like the pencilled and barred ones, they look stunning I don't even have a cube yet, but I've already planned to fill it! My wish list is getting longer and longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Can you tell the sex of them already then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 With about 90% accuracy I'd say I am (as is the breeder) confident that these are girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Smashing I am so glad Tasha is a girl Your bantam run filling up nicely then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Gorgeous girls! Is Tasha named after anyone we might know by any chance?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yes and no, I am naming the chicks I hatched myself after Star Trek characters and there was a Tasha in Star Trek the next generation, although I know that there is a Tasha on here who is also a very good friend (as for the rest of my naming convention - chicks I buy in are named after Dr Who spin off characters, girls bought in at POL are named after Dr Who Assistants. I know I'm sad, but I am also sci-fi mad hence Space Chick ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I love Rani and Maria. Though a total space I feel sure that Tasha should be a little more red feathered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 They are so lovely. I share your need for more room. I'm running out of space & no hybrids = no winter eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 What lovely girls. I love wyandottes. I have only just got my bantam laced but think she is such a sweetie. I think you have got your dottes from where I got my little frizzle pekin The wyandottes were lovely and I was tempted by the choc barred who is really pretty.

Kidders Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have 4 Buff Laced, they are looking fab, 2 of each I suspect, any ideas on sexing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 They are stunning birds, as are the other birds the breeder had, she also had some lovely point of lay crossbreeds... If only I had more space. It's a heck of a trek to go there for me from South Wales as it's in Northamptonshire, but worth it for such beautiful birds They are all lovely, I love the markings on them. Can I ask where the breeder is, it must be quite close to me Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
