Here are 3 videos from today, the chicks' 5 week birthday ? I've been given the whole family some greens (sometimes cucumber, peas, kale or tenderstem broccoli) and they love it! Well apart from the kale... Charley and Martha never used to bother before, but looks like they're showing the right...

Hi all, Well I thought I had already posted this yesterday but I can't find the post so here it is... Just a video from yesterday featuring Peckford (New Hampshire Red cockerel), Booboo (frizzle Pekin black) somewhere in the middle, Doris (grey frizzle Pekin), Tilly (10 months old Ancona), and...

Hi all, My little chicks are only 2 and a half weeks old and I can't tell yet whether they are male or female. But for the sake of being ready either way I just wanted to know what I need to do or how I go about selling them? Well I am saying selling but whatever money I get will go to an...

Hi all, I absolutely love Tom my ancona cockerel to bits but at nearly 7 months old now he is becoming a bit of a nuisance in more than one way... Can fly too high (so even 6 feet fences wouldn't keep him in), far too noisy (very much likes the sound if his voice at any time if the day and...

Hi all! Both Charley and Martha are doing very well now that they are getting the correct nutrition... Martha has been laying pretty much everyday as well. They're very in love ;) Every evening they like merge into one big quail with two heads. It's adorable to see. They use the sand bath...

I know right! Tom is a proper Casanova lol :D :D

Here is another photo of Peep my black mottled pekin bantam... Our young Ancona rooster's favourite girlfriend lol

16 ½ week Bantam Anconas

Hi All, A while ago I posted about my 4 chicks who have hatched in July week commencing the 9th, and what gender they were, what breed there are... Well all this time we thought we had 3 hens and 1 cockerel... but turns out that we have 2 hens (both bantam Anconas, Tilly and Tiny) and 2...

What a difference just a couple days make... They are now starting to get their pattern on their breast ??

They have their days but generally they really don't mind a fuss... Especially if we happen to have some treats ?? Booboo the black one is my husband's and she likes to perch herself on top of him....

:D :D :D :-)17 :-)17 ;) ;) They do actually!!!

They both love roaming in the garden when it's raining, especially Doris. She does get in a bit of a state though and ends up looking like a rat but that's about it... A bit of mud doesn't deter from trying and dig a dust bath nor scratching around for worms. It's Incredible how they quickly get...

May I introduce Booboo (black) and Doris (grey). Booboo is driven by her stomach, a follower, she tags along the other girls, and always afraid to miss out on something she'll run a 100m in less than a second if she thinks the others are getting something good. She lays the smallest, roundest...

Ah thank you and sorry to hear this about your girl Ancona... I must admit they are quite noisy as little chicks already... :D They all seem to want to show off their flying skills as well. They are very friendly though and quite cheeky to be fair. We have been handling them every day since...

Hi Could anyone help with 2 issues please? I have 2 Chinese Painted Quails Charley and Martha, one male and one female. On the photos, Martha is the larger bird and looks like her mascara is smudged under her eyes,... They are around 1 and a half years old now. They live in the same (huge)...

Hi All, I wondered if you could help me work out which breed this little bantam chick is? I was think citron dutch but not sure,... Various ages, from 1 day to 4 1/2 weeks on the pictures attached. Thanks

Hi all, Photos of my 3 little Ancona chicks Tilly, Tom & Tiny (as named by my daughters). Obviously still to early to know whether they are pullets or roosters so there may be a name change or adjustment at some point soon :D :D On the photos, with the 3 of them, they are approximately 3...

Hi again lol I have just realised that the photo I have posted of Dusty looks more like a white pekin but her colour goes whiter after a period of being broody, and much more lavender like any other time... She had come out of broodiness on this photo... Hence the whiter look....

Hi All, I have 4 Pekins, 2 smooth (lavender and black mottled - also I always thought they were called "pied" but I might be wrong lol) and 2 frizzles (a black and a grey one). All 4 have lovely personalities, and the plumage feels so soft! They can be broody very easily though I have found...
