You know how the song goes.. 'I'm just a girl who can't say no'...............?

 

Well, I went to get a replacement for Ruby Tuesday, and I've come back with 3 chickens!!!!!!

 

A long journey, partly due to rubbish Multimap directions, and 9 year old map reading, but we got there in the end. We have (from the left in the top picture):

 

(Hey) Jude, 14 week old buff columbian wyandotte bantam

 

Ruby Tuesday 2, 12 week old silver laced wyandotte bantam

 

Roxanne, 12 week old Rhode Island Red bantam

 

All of the girls

Right, found the s"Ooops, word censored!"s of paper... the breeders are:

 

Buff columbian wyandotte bantam: 'Margaret', Cottage Chickens, 35 Shyshack Lane, Tadley, RG26 5NH 01189 814555, She also stocks white columbians and a few other breeds. Delightfully dotty old chicken lady.

 

Silver laced Wyandotte bantam and RIR bantam: 'Ted', don't have his address, but he lives near Hermitage, and Shaw, near Newbury and Thatcham (very near A34 and easy to find). 01635 49114 (yes, it's a short number). Sounded like he also had loads of other bantam breeds and hatching eggs too. Didn't get a chance to see them all because it was getting dark.

A week on, and updated photos. Sorry they're slightly out of focus - the little cluckers won't stand still for a moment :roll:

Roxanne being gorgeous - you can see how her adult feathers are coming through and she's getting that lovely shine that RIRs have
