Dandenong Poultry Clubs Show

I wasn't showing today but went down to have a lookie-loo since it's fairly close to us and it's always nice to meet more local people. Of course, being as I was arrogant enough to post on a public forum that morning that I was pretty happy just having my 'dottes, silkies and aylesbury I promptly found something too pretty not to buy. ~_~;

So I'm the proud new owner of a trio of Old English Game. The roo is sold to me as blue duckwing, the girls as lemon blues. I know nothing about OEG but they're pretty and I like them and they're close to looking like the blue cream light brown dutch bantams on my "colour one day I must create in Australia" list. LOL (The BCLB Dutch bantam can be seen http://www.dutchbantamsocietyamerica.com/files/adbscolor_files/typebluecreamlightbrownc.jpg here)

So here's the new trio in their cage.

Roo seperate

Pullet

and hen.

Now for a few of the other birds there that caught my eye...

I was happy to see a lovely Aylesbury there... one of Jacquie's babies, owned by ToH

Pilgrim Goose - Tim's as are the two brown Chinese below



Silkie - there were two of them, same owner absolutely lovely to see the SIZE on them! Gee wiz, would love to have that with my blacks! O_O

Std Partridge Dotte - a surprise to see, apparently also of the same bloodlines mine are from but the only one the guy owns, so no luck in having another local breeder!

Random game cock and hen, above and below


A pretty pair of buff orphington ducks, drake and hen

And below, a number of the muscovy there....



Another blue and white, whose markings I really liked. I still know beans about Muzzies but the colouring on her wings was such a pretty frosted blue. One of Hamish Russells I think.

Great photos and I do like your new trio.
My question is...did you take travel cages to the show just in case?
I am banned from doing that or I would have no room for my kids!

I pretty much always have boxes, a cat cage and dog crate in the car. The later because my dogs frequently come with me but also because if I see strays or hurt animals I'll stop and it's a lot safer.

It... um... does come in handy when I happen to go to a show though and see something nifty... heh. ~_~;
