Hugo is our new Cream Crested Legbar cockerel. I think he might be brother to the late, lamented Chip. I'm sure when I bought the eggs Chip came from, I gave the ones I couldn't get in the incubator to my chum, Carol, to put under her broody hen. Must think a bit more about that!

He's in an ark with two of the CCL hens - we'll move the others in with him over the next few days. In a few weeks, all being well, I might be able to set some eggs from them.

I've run off the breed standard, so I'll "score" my lot and see how they compare to the "perfect" CCL. Not that any of them are in any danger of being less than perfect in my eyes!

How about a photo? I love to see the way other folks are doing it.
