Dark brown thanks for that I will inspect my birds tomorrow, I'm completely with you regarding quality, that's exactly what we are aiming for so the Marans will be trying to get it right next year with an aim of selling in 2015, the lavenders we are on the ball there should be a good year 2014, and the legbars I have a number of good girls but my cock is pants, the last couple of hatchings have had poor colour, poor definition, so if I only gain a legbar cock we should do ok next year.
Victorian farmer, you could always send your cock down to me, too luck after my ladies.
