Hi Babe, Here a couple of piccies of Handsome, I think he is a Gold Legbar but you will know more than me.




He was only 8 months old or so here, he is much bigger now, I will have to take an up to date photo

This is Miracle, the one I hatched in my hand after keeping it warm for 24 hours so he could develop fully. He is Handsoms son but obviously has a fluffy bantam chick mummy :roll:

Yes I did Foxy, his egg got opened by another hen or something and when I picked it up his tummy was still yolk but the rest was ok. I thought, if I keep him warm he will develop and then I can hand rear him. It was June 9th last year, the day after my birthday and we were going to friends for dinner :shock: so I took him with me :shock:  :shock:  :shock: His shell dropped off after 3 days, and I took to keeping him in an old cage with a heat lamp.
Here are some piccies:





and after a week, me teaching him to feed, bless him
