Post by: Kate and her Ducks on January 27, 2012, 09:34: Thats a hansom chicken! Is it a boy or girl?
Title: Re: Sultan chicks have arrived
Post by: lazydog on January 27, 2012, 09:55: We are almost certain they are both cocks,so hoping to get some more hatched this year and then start breeding them as they are so rare,yet so gentle and good looking and not destructive in the garden like some breeds.
