Nice one BC it was a nice looking bird, do you have the LF version?

I got a bit held up on the Sunday and missed the Scots Grey meeting but managed a good look around the birds

No LF only keep bantams.

Ah, didn't realise that was yours, we were looking at her. I actually have to confess I didn't know you could get black scots dumpys

and I really liked her. I could be tempted to get some black ones....

I took six chooks, the seventh one escaped from his show cage and had a run in with a goat, and the goat kindly pulled out 3 of his tail feathers!

But anyway, I got a 1st, 3rd and 4th. My boy got best gold pencilled male too. So quite pleased, as some were in quite big classes. My pullet was 4th out of 11, and her class winner went on to be best opposite sex to champion.

Well done Beth, My wee bird is a character she would do anything for a raisin, No so many Dumpys about maybe to plain for some folks. I see you are entered for Peebles maybe have a natter about birds there.
