Default few pics of bantams ... enjoy

Hi all,
Just a few pics of our new recruits.
I think they may be mixed ages...not really sure but would like your opinions/comments etc etc.
There are a couple of videos although I am not very good.
Had to have Mole and Mustard in being as they are neighbours at the moment !
Enjoy !

What a lovely little group and such cute crowing not very loud yet either.
There defo looks like there is some silkie in some of them with that punk hairstyle.
One of the cockerels has feathery legs as well. I really don't know what mix they can be sorry.
Love your ducks one day I will have some. Come on lottery win.

Thanks elvie......we love where we live and know how lucky we are too.
The ducks are funny and Mole the one in the pond is quite famous on this site but a very randy drake and that is why they do not live with the chickens !!!
I hope you get some chicks hun. I am logging in every day to see if any news.

Do you know what they are? There is one that looks just like my Buff Sussex bantams except with a punky hairdo... same colour, same black on tail.

they are just a mixture of allsorts !
Bless..they were perched on the wooden outside handle of their house last night at bedtime . I picked one up and put them in their house and the others let me pick them up give them a stroke and say goodnight. What adorable things they are !
I think we will end up with 2 cockerels and two hens as a friend asked for some of them BUT we are getting some more hens when we get back from UK !!!!

Ohh I love my chickens and duck and geese oh and parrot, pony and dog too

Lin, what a lovely little bunch. They all look very happy and who could blame them. Mole and Mustard look very content and make a very handsome couple......Sharon xxx

A lovely little bunch (have I missed names)?...they look like they've been there for ages, really settled and happy...and what cute crowing - they're not even as loud as my Ida and Helen! Ducks as georgeous as ever - still can't believe Mole misbehaves...where's Posh n Becks in all this?! M

Mole, Mustard, Martha and Sue are now in their own enclosure due to Mole misbehaving badly . We had them separate for a couple of weeks and when I tried putting them back with chickens he grabbed hold of Wilma and immediately got on top of her so we decided to separate them permanently.
They are very happy in their enclosure with the pond, plenty of space, grass and now the bantams as neighbours !!!
Posh n Becks are in with the chickens enjoying a pond and plenty of grass.
They have turned out to be beautiful geese and quite friendly.
