| Look OK to me, in good nick.
Look like yearlings
Do you breed only from stock birds that do not fly out?.
Regards.

| We bought the father to that from Doncaster which we paired to a grand whols hen . I personally don't like the hen but this bird is beautiful, full of character. He can't keep still lol. I love birds like that. He flew ok as a yb . His nest make we thought was a hen turned out to be a cock also, bug totally different, nice bird as well but not as active. We are pairing the father to a better hen this year , so hopefully get better again |

Found the good, bad and indifferent come in all shapes and sizes and colours and when we think we know something crops up to prove us wrong. Funny old game. Regards. |
