'Bok Bok' - my Italian Hen - hand reared & free ranging
'Bok Bok' is a beautiful black hen, who I originally brought back from Sicily when she was just an egg (with permission from the Italian airline). She is half Sicilian Buttercup, half black leghorn bantam. She is not a true bantam; medium/small and athletic but compact in build. She is very spritely and alert and very easy to handle when caught. I find even my most of tamest of birds are hard to catch when presented with a 6 acre pasture.. I hand reared her from an egg. She loves to ride around on your shoulder and loves a cuddle. She produces beautiful medium sized porcelain eggs every day. She's a strong bird and was a very healthy, fast growing chick. Free ranging every day, rain or shine. I will be very sad to see her go, she is probably the second best chicken I've ever had, but I want to travel a lot this year so selling them makes sense. PLEASE NOTE: I live during the week in Bristol, BS7. If you agree to the purchase, I can bring chickens with me to Bristol for you to collect. Otherwise, collect from Lyneham, Wiltshire. I also have pure & mixed breed cockerels for sale and some other hens. Read More
