I was in sydney yesterday, and picked up my new female Little Button from Clawd. She has settled in very well after her road trip, and after a few momentary scuffles she and her new mate have decided to get along.
Here are some pictures:

Just keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't give him a hiding, some Little hens can be very aggressive, & have a spare cage ready for her when she has finished laying, & he is sitting, & have livefood ready for the chicks. Good luck.

Thanks VR1, yep I have been. they stopped going at each other at about 12.00 this morning (put them together at 10) and have pretty much got on alright since, but I'll keep an eye on her.
Lots of termites to be had for these guys :thumbup:
