Thank you Aunt Sally

Handsome birds aren't they. They have a very good temperament and will lay through the winter. They are good as meat birds too ( although Aunty would never admit to telling you that )

, nice to know they lay through the winter, I assume you mean without artificial lighting.

Amazing what you can find when you take the trouble to look.

I've just fount this site:

It's got some really good breed information.

Thank you again

yes it's amazing what you can find on the net I call it the "fount of all human knowledge", bit pricey though aren't they or is that me being tight? Think a trip to Melton market is in order

11-14 weeks - £16. Munty would buy a crate of 25 for that

Thats what I thought. Might make a incubator and buy a dozen eggs and see what I get,and sell the cocks at market.

Thanks they are quite pretty looking. Buffy is my fave though she is such a talker and so dainty and ladylike I want a dozen more just like her, she may not lay at the moment (having a rest, although she does that crouching thing) but I love her to bits and cuddle her all the time.

Egg colour, hmm I long to find out too, maybe soon if they are indeed girls :-)

Aunt Sally · « **Reply #28 on:** May 29, 2007, 09:31 »

Their tail feathers are beginning to look rather ... ...masculine :?
