Claude, our French Wheaten Marans cock. A handsome chap with the feathered legs a French bird should have. He was surplus to his owners' requirements and they were anxious to find a good home for him which is why he was a free gift. As an added bonus we already have three Wheaten Marans hens, so it's all go for the breeding next year :wink:

He certainly looks a fine fellow, Alan...let's hope he proves to be a good Father!
