They are probably about 18 months old (Winter of 2010) as they are Autumn/Winter breeders. They look great Deb and the male feeding the hen is a good sign. Get a box in there as the season starts very soon and they probably are old enough.
The cock still has to develop his yellow wing Patches and the fully black cap. Also do you know if they are siblings or unrelated?

Certainly are unrelated . Its the first question I ask . Better get my finger out and get a box made up then .
