Jilly - That sounds like good news!!

Health wise- were they just the same as most other hens???
Never had hens before, so you think they'd be a good breed to start off with??
Are the cockerels noisy or laid back ( got neighbours to consider)

....We are thinking about these for France...and will probably also get some ex-battery ( different variety) if we can find some .

I understand they lay lovely eggs and the meat is tasty ....
