i got silkies off him and an odd silkie cockerel, his stuff were basically feral running around in a paddock which the hundred of geese had stripped clean and turned to mud, and what was kept in coops etc was covered in mites and had intense scaly leg, i got it in my stock by being young and too eager to get my new cockerel home. i would stay clear of him, even if they were healthy, they were pretty poorly bred and unpure as well, was just going to warn you if it was the same guy. was it an advert you responded to?
