WarrensWorld Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Just come back from Ballinrobe, poultry fair. I saw a fantastic Cuckoo Maran Cockerel. Eileen wouldn't let me buy it...... Donna Cassidy, said she'll get me one next spring, probably April....... edit:- I've a picture of him on my mobile. trouble is I can't find the computer lead.. Sorry for the quality of the picture. Still can't find the computer lead. I had to email the picture to myself and save it. What a comb!....... He's lying down when he stood up he hit the top of the cage....

Probably the biggest chook I've ever seen, but lovely with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Our daft bird has a huge comb - and she also has the thickest neck out of them all, although the rest of her is still quite trim. Lovely birdy in the piccy though. Well done by trying to get the photo on here by hook or by crook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
