They are slowly getting used to being handled & not as flighty as they was. Have attached a picture as they are just gorgeous birds albeit a bit bedraggled. I have called them Gomez & Morticia lol [/img] Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14299 Location: Hampshire Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:59 am    Post subject: They're nice birds. Hopefully with a little TLC they will be glorious again soon.

I had a man from our local poultry club come round on Tuesday evening & he thinks my cockerel is actually a hen. I have had 2 eggs from them (not sure which) one was found in the garden & the other was a soft shell. They seem much perkier and a lot less nervous now.
