Lily the Blackrock
Spring the Cream Legbar
Summer the Welsummer (how original)
Winter the Light Sussex
Cherry the Skyline
Popcorn & Nugget my two sablepoot chicks

so new total 2136

I hope all you eBay egg buyers go back and leave extra feedback to say they weren't what you ordered! That's the only way to stop them conning other people.

Mine are all mixed, but they were advertised as such.

G4 - I certainly will leave accurate feedback! I'm going to ask for a refund actually. I paid for 6 cuckoo d'uccle bantams and none of them are! I've two mottled, a lavender and two mille fleur (not so sure on the last..)..in addition, two chicks are very small, and one died in the shell, so not good so far!
Its quite annoying actually. I suppose its technically fraud.....anyway, on a happier note - here's the tiniest arrival!

Plus Twinkle Toes, the only one of 4 Ebay eggs that hatched on Sunday. She (I hope) has hardly seen because of her fierce protective "mother".

2137 I make it now.

I did actually WASH my hands before I took the chick pic! Hard to believe!

From Pattie in Northern Ireland

I have 7 hybrids + 1 Rodie + 4 Bantams + 2 Roosters
I make that I think 2151 at the moment My Pekin Bantam is sitting on 2 eggs due to hatch this weekend and another unidentified Bantam is sitting on 5 not due to hatch until end of August

Best wishes to everyone
Pattie

2151 plus 3 little brown hens evicted by environmental health officer and rehomed with me!
= 2154

By the way...can anyone just quickly tell me how to insert little pics (thumbnails?). To get my pics in I use 'Go Advanced' and then the icon on the toolbar that has a label 'insert image' or 'insert picture' . I then copy and paste the HTTP string from the pic in my album. I don't know why it comes out so big on the page................
cheers,
JM
