I'm not sure I'll be keeping them that long, I'm probably going to just keep their father for breeding as I'm keeping a few hens back from this batch then I'm going to line breed, these are 1st generation inbred and i don't really want to do 2nd gen inbreeding as I've heard it results in smaller birds.

Another stag

Not sure whether this one is a stag or pullet, it's paler face and some other characteristics tell me pullet but this is much larger than all the other pullets and by weight probably the biggest of all the chicks including the stags.

Wow. small world. I dont remember seeing any farms when I went to London, and not one chicken. But then again I was in the city on High Road.

**Actually I lied I remember a bunch of empty land on the highway to/from Gatwick

You won't come across many farms here but there is the occasional one, i went to one a few years ago and a guy there had a whole bunch of shamo in a bunch of different enclosures. Most people keep them in their back yards.

Yeah you will pass many farms and land when coming from Gatwick, seems like a completely different place when you compare it to the rest of London.
