I'm renting a holiday villa that comes with 8 hens and a cock - all black with red combs. I'm sure it's a traditional breed. Anyone know which please? Black Orpington ???
they have just had an article on our local news about a racing pigeon in distress on a rock in Devon, a young gal saving it....the owner of it, identified from the rings, in Stevenage, one Mr Eccles.
Well I am in Menorca and it's a very rural property. There are also 2 Rheas and 3 great crested cranes so owner must be a bird fancier. The chickens are normal size, not bantams. Very chunky and fat. No leggings. The cock has green/black plumes. From his tail. They remind me of old prints or children's book chickens.
They're not as fancy as most of those DT and they don't have those white wattle things. I'm back at the weekend and will post a PIC, can't be faffed to try on this Hudl. Many thanks for input so far.
