This, incidentally, is what the “mudlark” (perfect description!) above is supposed to look like. Butter(cups) wouldn’t melt…

We’ll be visiting Peebles Agricultural Show on 11th August - primarily to see the poultry (believe it, or not). Mr Soo would be happy to post pics of any variety you’d like to see, joe. Last time we visited, we spent an absolute age in the poultry tent, as we are both a bit bonkers about our fevvered friends.

Still fluffy enough. Awww :chicken:

My, they grow fast! Sammy is very fine - do you know if he’s a Samuel or she’s a Samantha, Joe? Though I understand from your previous experiences that it’s not easy to tell unless he starts to crow.
