Hi. I shall see if I can get some photos up. They are mostly of some lovely cockerels that I bred last year, with their hens.

Hi All, I have some new pictures of this years bunch, but I really must buy a decent camera. The old thing I've got gets worse by the day, which isn't helped by the fact that the moment they clock it they immediately turn their backs. I persuade 'em to turn round. They turn I press the button...

Some more while I'm at it Here is a picture of Filigree from last year and a picture of some of the first batch of young from this year.

Hi everyone. I'm back! With some new photos which I hope I can get up. If you remember that far back I am trying to breed Crowned and Crested's. But they don't seem to want to settle into uniformity. The blue and black ones with the vulture hocks or clean legs don't seem to like wearing crowns...

I have been trying to get some modern game eggs or chicks for a few years now. I only need half a dozen eggs just to get the breed integrated with my Cowned and Cresteds. Will also swop eggs.

Regrettfully I have to part with my peafowl pair, due to several factors. They are now middle aged but the female is laying more eggs than before. The male is lame but otherwise healthy. They will require an aviary at least 30ft square with a covered perch (with a soft landing area)about six...

Hi I have a bantam cock that does not appear sick but I noticed that one leg had lost feathers at the top and was looking very red. When I examined him I found the whole keel area and tops of both legs blood red in patches, and hairless. I don't think it is the usual sort of depluming mite. That...

Hi All. In case they get in the wrong order mum is little Cutie, and grandaughter is Little Cheepy. Yes they did come up in reverse order!

Hi all. I thought you might like to see how cute two of my babies looked.

Hi All. I have two young brothers in urgent need of a new home. Very friendly. Would run with large breed chickens or turkeys, and brighten up your garden all year round. All they need is a high roost in a tall shed or tree, and the occassional handful of peanuts, to supplement the chicken feed.
