Plenty to keep you busy then are they all exhibition birds? I have one big fluffy boy I would love to breed but he is so mellow and loves his boy friend so much I don't hold out much hope he's such a big fluff ball! |

Was thinking letting them have two rounds each the now depending on first rounds , prob have a few months off start again in summer but will see how birds are and in condition at the time but will see wat about use guys , i enjoy watching the chicks grow up its nice to see how much they change everyday

Two rounds are what most breeders initially go for. Some good pairs are allowed to have a third clutch and the eggs are then transferred to some other hen for incubation. It's so fascinating to see the chicks grow. They are such beautiful little creatures |
