I thought maybe we could have an annual gallery for us to post pics of our current poultry and set ups.

thanks both

I have all my breeding groups, each penned by four Heras panels in a square, so although they are confined in order to keep the breeds pure, they have plenty of space.

The turkeys have double the size as they need more ground.

The geese are free-ranging.

and I have a clipboard.....no spreadsheets in sight....

I will try and upload some more later, the uploader seems to have gone on strike....

and thanks for making it sticky Sean

Nice legbar cockerel from this angle - can you do a close-up?

Why do I have images of you lot asking the chickens to love the camera for you?

Like this you mean?

Salmon Faverolle and a (not quite mature) Barnebar hen - both very curious!



My legbar breeding stock:



Millefleur pekin cockerel:



I am hoping to get some more when I get a sunny day - the ones of the barnevelders are really out of date.

Yes, he's very erect isn't he? and minimal brown on shoulders, I'm very pleased with him
I will try and take a better pic of him tomorrow.

I've got two groups in childrens wooden playhouses, and a third group in a large cabin.

The geese sleep in the summerhouse

I have a quintent, max, inside a pen made from six heras panels - it seems to work well and I didn't have to move them last summer, the grass kept up with them.

I'll be having two lines of legbars and two lines of barnevelders this season - the larger groups I am going to be free-ranging.

Having cut down the number of breeds, it means I can really focus on doing the ones I have kept properly.

Didn't get chance to take any pics today, but I'll try and get some done tomorrrow of the CL cockerel.

If anyone is after a Bourbon Red stag, please shout up, I have one surplus to requirements.
