He definately is. If I leave the back door open he'll come right in and help himself (mainly to the cats food) hence all the muddy footprints you can see! Sam follows him anywhere.

Well I'm two weeks into training the girls to come to the bell and it's working fine so far, just need to let them get farther afield over the next couple of weeks.

Kate, the one in the front of the pic is so lovely - what kind is it?

I have a small yellow tub that I put 5 or 6 brandling worms from the compost heap in. They have now associated the tub for worms and I get mobbed when they see me with it.
Because the run is in a more open (to neighbours) area, whereas the lawn area of my garden is more enclosed, I am now using the yellow tub as a lure to get them to walk from the run to the garden and back.  

Currently their attention span is about 30 seconds and I need about a minute so chaos reigns

He's a Cayuga cross (got a bit of black crested in him but looks just like a cayuga). He has the most lovely temperment as well. Think I'm probably going to have some lovely little Patricks next spring

My girls love freeranging under the hedges and shrubs in the garden and sometimes you cant see any of them just a bit of rustling!! Just to check they are all still in the garden I make a clicking sound and from under hedges etc they come running (and flying!!!) its very funny to watch, must get it on video.
