Here's (not a very good) picture of it. I've put a ring around it as it's not very big yet! Nothing else to report at the moment.

Or is it my eye's failing me Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14702 Location: Hampshire Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 8:50 pm    Post subject: No, NannyP, you're eyesights correct. They are all bantams. Welsumer, Nankin & Old Cotswold Legbar. We had a total of 19 eggs, but have put 3 each under 2 broodies. The rest are in the incubator.
