Carnival fun!

What a giggle we all had yesterday at St Teath Carnival 😁.

So many brilliant entries and really chuffed with a 3rd place rosette for Bridget's Barn!

Thank you so much Team BB Anna Sanders, Jake Masters, Emma Davoust-Zangari and of course our little chick Archie 😋.

How cute are this bunch?

This is the second hatch for Bridget's Barn courtesy of Raine Sian Hewett ! Fantastic hatch rate and 13 out of 18 were girls! They've definitely got the magic touch and were couriered back to Bridget's Barn in style 🥰.

Lovely selection of Olive Eggers, Cream Legbars and Gingernut Rangers (Columbian Blacktails).

All reserved and off to their new 🏠.

I spy a chicken!

Everywhere I go my eyes get drawn to them! Can anyone else relate?

For all of you that love gardens and chickens but know how tricky it can be to combine the two, there's some great advice in here!🌱

Just like many people feel a house isn’t a home without a cat or a dog, we are of the mind that no garden is complete without a flock of chickens to share it with.

Anyone looking to rehome some chooks?

Yippeeee! Saturday 20th July is the next marvellous rehoming day! If you would like to rehome some gorgeous hens and give them their best summer yet, please hop over to www.freshstartforhens.co.uk to reserve your girls.

And of course.. please do share this post and spread the word, so we can give as many lovely hens their Fresh Start and new lives, as soon as possible!!!

Happy Feathery Father's Day 🩵💙
Meet the chaps that produce our chicks!🐓🐣🐥

Gingernut Ranger hatching eggs now available!

These are a sex-linked cross between a Rhode Island Red cockerel and Light Sussex hens. You can identify the boys and girls by their feather colour as day old chicks (as shown below).

Our cockerel Rick makes up a quartet with Lori, Lydia and Lucianna with good fertility rates.

No pictures of hens yet as this is a new poultry project for us this year! However if you Google Gingernut Rangers, Calder Rangers, Blacktails or Columbian Blacktails they are all the same hybrid!

P.S. Are any of you lovely lot fans of the T.V. series influencing this breeding group's names?

Might just happen to have a few hatching eggs fall in my basket at Royal Cornwall Show ! So fantastic to have the poultry tent up and running again after Avian Influenza restrictions for the last few years. 🎪🐓🐥

I hatched Australorps from this brilliant breeder a few years ago so I'm very excited to have another go.

7 eggs now in the trusted Brinsea Products Ltd Mini Advance and 4 under Wendy, a Welsummer, and one of my numerous broody hens.

Fingers and wings crossed!🙂

First French Copper Marans chicks of the season. Super floofy and so cute! 🐣🐣🐣

Fingers crossed for some girls as a number already reserved as Point of Lay 🤞. Their dark chocolate, brown eggs are a perfect addition to a yummy palette of egg colours 🥰.
