Good photos George. They certainly have a mind of their own.

Birds look well, George.

They get some funny ideas at times.

I’m not overly keen on the eye of the cock but the hen has a cracking eye. Hopefully they will go well together.

Looking good George šŸ‘šŸ˜€ they are funny creatures and know what they want, I have several that refuse to take a nest box too. I hope they breed well for you mate.

I have some in the race section that have chosen places other than nest boxes to nest lol.

I have spare nest boxes but a couple of cocks are trying to take 2 boxes and rather than upset things by forcing pairs to have nest boxes I am happy to let them nest where they want too.
