Guest Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I have just collected my baby banties - but can't work out how to upload the photos on here - but if you click on my www - it will be worth the visit. I am totally besotted. Apart from the Buff Orpington bantam who is 15 weeks old, the others are all 8 weeks old and have been together as a little flock before coming to me. The Barbu d'Uccles are like little doves - so tiny and perfect. They are just developing their adult plumage - so will look even more beautiful when they have all their feathers.

Olly Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 ooh - congratulations! Lucky bantams, to be moving into your lovely run and Cube. I hope Dilly and Pumpkin get over the shock - can't wait to read the next 'conversation' between them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The green metal covers either side are dust baths - and covered areas for them - which my other chickens love - they have them too. The hedge of conifer cuttings is because bantams, originated in the jungles and like to hide - thus feeling more secure. I have tall plants growing up the other end of the pen for the other bantams - but this end was bare. If they feel threatened they like to run and hide. The others always did that to hide from the hybrids I had. I am hoping that tomorrow the babies will come out of the cube and have a look around - it is tipping it down with rain now !

You have a frizzle!!! iam getting 2 in a few weeks!!!! what is yours like? is she nice? She is black and so soft with lovely curly feathers - so cute - she will get a lot more curly by the time all her adult feathers appear. The breeder has such lovely ones - when I saw them in the photo I was not keen, but when I visited here and saw them and the mottled ones , they were so different and so pretty I could not resist. (I was supposed to be getting 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 just managed to see the pictures, I couldn't view them at work today. They look gorgeous. Are you sure those are bantams, and not doves! If they start cooing and flying around the Cube you'll soon know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Snowy I have been looking at your blog since it started and am longing to see how your garden looks now - and those wonderful raised beds Thank you Dilly Not a patch on your blog, but something to aim towards I think! You've motivated me to have another go at it - I need to find a host that lets me upload more pictures - I prefer pictures to words anyday!

TheGirlsMum Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Good to see you here I've been wondering when you were going to pick up your babies. We went and got back 3 of the chicks we hatched out 5 weeks ago on Tuesday, the girls are still trying to decide on names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went and got back 3 of the chicks we hatched out 5 weeks ago on Tuesday, the girls are still trying to decide on names. This is the first time I have had chicks and they are so different to the big ones (obviously) - I mean the noises they make -little peep peeps as though they are discussing things. If they are the slightest bit nervous they all cram together in a pile - even if there is nothing for them to be nervous about - but me in the pen. I am just off to see how they are this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
