This is Bozo A son of his was coming here, I think I'll call him Bozo Junior (BJ)


The one at the back is BJ.

I do like this colour!
 Some pictures from Europe!
The corresponding female!
Another colour (not one we have in Australia as far as I know.)




My birds
Chow Mein and the buff hen are now in the general pen!

Heckle is here and he's bigger than I expected. A rare colour so I'll overlook that his body type looks more sussex than brahma on first impression.

An important part of the farm dynamics is how the maremmas and the chooks interact. Part of the trouble is that chooks typically act like hysterical squeaky toys which only excites the dogs and it all gets out of hand. So with the introduction of a calm breed of chooks things will hopefully be easier!


 This isn't my photo but sums up perfectly how it should be!

The Cast

The boys:
















Mr Wolf (the original cockerel but perhaps not useful as a breeding male!)




















Chow Mein (don't need a Light Rooster but couldn't let him go off to become dinner, hence the name!)


















Fabio: sadly may never be used as he injured himself.and can't walk (update: it took about 5 or 6 months but he can walk and more importantly is fertile!)




















Heckle hasn't arrived yet.




















Neither has Bob! (he has now!)
