A MAN has admitted having sexual intercourse with chickens.

Rehan and Haleema Baig, of Shepherd Street, Great Horton, appeared before Bradford Crown Court today to face the charges.

The 37-year-old admitted two counts put to him of intentionally performing "an act of penetration with your penis on the cloaca (vaginal and anal passage) of a living animal, namely a brown chicken".

He also pleaded guilty to a charge of intentionally performing an "act of penetration with your penis on the cloacas (vaginal and anal passages) of several brown and white chickens".

He admitted possessing extreme pornographic images which were "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene nature" which portrayed in an "explicit and realistic way" a person performing an act of intercourse with an unknown animal, a dog and several chickens.

He also pleaded guilty to making indecent photographs of children, as well as the possession of 405mg of cocaine and 4.07g of cannabis resin. 

His wife, 37, was also charged with the same counts of possession of extreme pornographic images relating to the dog and chickens and possession of cocaine and cannabis resin. She denied the charges. 

At an earlier hearing at the lower court, she pleaded guilty to three aiding and abetting counts, namely filming her husband having sexual intercourse with a chicken. 

They will next appear at Bradford Crown Court on September 25 to allow for the preparation of psychiatric and pre-sentence reports.
