            Congratulations!
            Buff Orps are just lovely chickens, got two myself, but one is poorly at the moment. Samson and Delilah. As he will grow up to be HUGE... I have seen his Daddy, I thought he needed a suitable name. He's the one that poorly at the moment, being bullied by the others. They are new to us where as we had the others just 2 weeks before them. They are in my hall at the moment!!! asleep and getting some respite from the bullies.
            Hope all goes well, I've learnt a lot in the past month so I have a little knowledge. Learnt most of it from The Vine must say.

            P.S They say that cockerels have longer legs!!!
