UPDATE: Now rehomed 😊

Sulmtaler cockerel in need of a new home. He’s temporarily with me in Chelmsford Essex but I’m happy to help transport him to a permanent home.

Mr Darcy is about 5 1/2 years old. He’s happy to be handled. I’m currently treating him for scaly leg mite and he’s being a really good boy about it. He’s only about a foot tall and has a low crow , just in the mornings.
