Anyone else keep Derbyshire Red Caps?
If not, why not? they are "vulnerable" on the RBST register and absolutely gorgeous... look!

or your hens?! ;)
I've always wanted Redcaps, being Derbyshire born and bred myself.
will post more pics when they are all grown up...

i mean breed of hens ::) considering some more dumpy's
-
dumpys... they're quite rare aren't they? will you hatch them or buy do you think?
-
I hatched 3 last year but only one survived she is lovely and lives with my old cockeral that has to find a new home so she may have to go with him as she is much smaller than any of my other girls

do you have a picture... we are desperate to sex them but its not at all obvious yet. they are lovely-looking
