fieldsportsman 107 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 And what prices do they go for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lots of info to be gained on the net etc but basically a bird with plenty of character, easy to care for although they aint keen on the cold and damp so the Winter spent indoors is advised. They dont lay a massive amount of eggs but lay more than enough to hatch a good number. They are capable broodies but probably best to stick with around 6 eggs. I would expect them to be quite pugnacious around other birds. They dont require a lot of room to be healthy and happy.....A 3' x 3' hut will house a trio fine. Price wise, it depends who you buy from......unfortunately there are far more bad birds for sale than good ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
