| Just wondering if any has Bassette hens. I understand they are a small bird. Was wondering what type of temperament they have and are they easy to keep? any one with pictures? |

I've heard of them but never seen them. Perhaps you could try the Poultry club of Great Britain, they may be able to point you in the right direction  |

They were first developed in Belgium and almost died out around the time of the war - they dont' do well enclosed and need either a large run or free range.
Here's a link with good information and a picture

Such a pity the picture of the cock bird doesn't work......
Looks a useful breed - very interesting. |
