Thanks CP i have wormed them & doused them in louse powder, i think they may have worms as they are eating like fury and not producing nice poo! 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

They're nice birds. Hopefully with a little TLC they will be glorious again soon. Wink

Thanks for the help, i wormed them after my last post and they are now eating less and one of them is passing dead worms in their poo!

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.
