Raymond 618 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks lads for your replies.Delighted.The young lad swapped his couple of noisey hens for these younger ones. The funniest thing happened when we got a load of 6 to 7 week old chicks.The fella said they where all hens.Well 4 or 5 turned out cocks to our laughter as they indivdually matured and started to cock a doodle doo. Im in the middle of a council estate and most the neighbours kids are all grow up and moved out.Thanks again.ATB Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
