Well done Chris.
Good to see you're getting a 'real poultry' breed.
Fingers crossed for you.

The Big Fellow is a real softy.......
Got a last years Cockerel who'll creep up behind you, and spur you on back of your legs.
Part of the 'Charm' of them. |

In general they're fine.
You do get the odd spiteful one, like my cockerel.
He'll get over it. |
