I believe that depends on the position of Newton in relation to said tree, but it is possible I am a bit confused.

Big Bruvver Bran is the strangest case. If you look closely, you’ll see he has a rose comb (which can only have come from Tysie), silky “haircut” (black, so presumably from Vicky) and Kiki tail and feet. We think that he must be the offspring of Tysie and Vicky, with the red a throwback to an earlier generation.

He is a very fine bird with mighty feet, however obtained.

(He has massive feet, which may be an advantage to pass on.)

Don’t think I made all the formal introductions, did I?
Bran - on all the evidence to date, the sole rooster:
Florrie:
Snowy:
Simone, who’s gone all New Romantic:
Vicky jr:
Have to get proper shots of the other three - but it’s difficult when they’re so fast. In the meantime, I managed to get a few pics of them inspecting the aftermath of the other night’s gales:

We can’t exactly see their faces, but I can imagine the expressions.

The sort of face that looks like its owner is sucking a lemon with eyebrows in the hairline?

Bran was not impressed. Saw him off a few seconds later.
