YOUNG BRIAN update (with photos)

Post by olpoll »

well this is his third day and he is settling in great i had him in a pen of is own as the hens were giving him a hard time but he was OK sleeping with them at night,
ive had him in and out the pen a bit mixing with the others and today he is fully part of the group standing his ground if they have a go but he isn't going out of his way looking for trouble,
I'm picking him up a lot hoping to keep him nice and friendly and he as just started taking food from my hand
he is cockadoodeling i little bit but doesn't start till about 7 or 8 so i can live with that as im up before him.
every things going well at the moment
lets hope it stays that way.

Olpoll, as I've said before, he is gorgeous!

He looks a lovely bird and I am really happy that he has settled in and very much part of the family. )t'
