    Advice needed re my Ancona cockerel

    Hi all, I absolutely love Tom my ancona cockerel to bits but at nearly 7 months old now he is becoming a bit of a nuisance in more than one way... Can fly too high (so even 6 feet fences wouldn't keep him in), far too noisy (very much likes the sound if his voice at any time if the day and...

    Black and Grey Frizzles

    They both love roaming in the garden when it's raining, especially Doris. She does get in a bit of a state though and ends up looking like a rat but that's about it...

She lays the smallest, roundest...

    Photos of Pekin Bantams

    Hi again lol I have just realised that the photo I have posted of Dusty looks more like a white pekin but her colour goes whiter after a period of being broody, and much more lavender like any other time... She had come out of broodiness on this photo... Hence the whiter look....
