Moll. 1,793 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 This is my home bred pride and joy. After starting off as a nearly cull for nastiness, he has turned out to be a fine young man. Lovely to handle and poses like a dream, infact the more you stroke his chest the further he sticks is out. A damn shame about the wattle crease, plus he has a baldy head (Electric hen accident) so i probably wont be able to show him with any success but have great hopes for him breeding wise.

Moll. 1,793 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I will gladly give you pick of a young cockerel reddog, cannot guarantee what any of their crowing will be like though. If you live in a terrace they might annoy the neighbours a bit, if you live near other people i doubt they will. I know some people who keep them overnight in the understair cupboard then let them out at a reasonable time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
