Indian Game 2000
Sillyoggin
Sunday 24th September
I originally thought that Sillyoggin was a Golden Campine chcik, but later identified him as an Indian Game (aka Cornish Game) from observing his feather development and body shape.

Above: Sillyoggin the Indian Game cockerel. Sillyoggin has been the slowest cockerel to mature from the September batch of chicks. His tail is nearly fully grown - it looks small because Indian/Cornish Game cockerels have small tails, and small feathers in general compared with other chickens. Sillyoggin has not started to crow yet, and I have not seen him attempt to.
Sillyoggin now weighs 2075 g
Sillyoggin is now fully mature, and has mastered the art of crowing. He has grown a large pea comb.
Sillyoggin is a very stockily built bird, and weighs over 2500 g (he is too large for my scales, which only weigh up to 2500 g)
