Reading & District Bantam Show


I popped in to the Reading & District Bantam show this weekend which was held in the Northcroft Leisure Centre in Newbury. This was my first chicken show and I wasn't sure what to expect. The birds were in what I presume is normally the badminton / indoor football hall. On opening the door in to the hall I was met with an overwhelming and deafening array of chicken noises. There were so many different shapes and sizes of bantam it was hard to believe. I only had my phone on me so snapped some slightly blurred images on it.
