Iron man had alot of lacing and i'm guessing that came from wyandotte in dad

this is my old rooster,
he was absolutely EVIL, (kicking holes in the heads of me, mum and the farmer next door and breaking out of coop to do so)
but he made the best babies :3

and well my absolute favourite...

i had a big incident happen this year that took alot of my flock and i'm focusing on re-building it naturally
gee thats pretty lucky that you could break her easy, some hens just dont give up, but some are willing to let go
well this week this got off them sometimes but i think its because our sheep sometimes barge into the ppen and i think she got startled
but today she is sitting for ages!

i dont want to try and pick her up because she is actually our...

i'm quite confused
my little roo (about 5 and a half weeks old), who is developing at an extremely low rate is begining to act quite strange
