A chick grows up

The Australoup chick has grown very fast.
See how different it looks.

 Unfortunately it has also started crowing - which means it is a rooster!




I have found a farm for it to go to in Taranaki where it will start off an Australoup breeding flock - and hopefully win many prizes for being a top quality bird!
Well done us Owairaka!
