Chicken_man 1,651 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Nice bird chicken man what's he weight?Not weighed yet, just letting him settle in, he's a bit wild, but not a man fighter. Caught him up in the dark this morning, will quiet him down and see.I'm thinking the 5lb mark in the hand. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken_man 1,651 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeh, I think he'll be ok. He had no handling, or very little. I'll keep you posted. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyface 50 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) And an update for Chicken-man. This is my favourite of the stags you sent me. Edited February 29, 2016 by Greyface 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken_man 1,651 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Greyface, The Brown reds look great. I like the look of the one 3rd pic down. The stag looks well! Has he made a decent size? Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyface 50 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 HI C-M. The red stag is smaller than the other two. I will weigh him in a month or two and let you know. The Br/red in the third pic down is just a stag. He is a son of the brood cock pictured on his own and with the hen. I like his stance, and he is good on his feet and close-heeled. The brood cock is very like an old-fashioned ginger, being wide, fleshy and heavier in the hand than he looks. He has a red eye, though. The hen and a pullet are shapely wee things, filling their skins, and smart movers. Their heads and tails are very ginger-like too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
