Show Team

We've picked our Show Team for this year - 5 pullets; Harriet has a crooked middle toe on one foot so she might not make the cut. She's lucky to be alive as she was badly feather pecked as a young bird and spent quite a lot of weeks living in Annabelle's (my 2nd white rat) cage outside the back door and sleeping inside at night while she recovered. She's a lavender silkie and has a very pretty head. I haven't named the others yet but will do soon. The first show is at Pittsworth on March 7.
We have another nice lot coming on. They're still only young and we won't pick out what we want to breed with for a while yet.
