Thank you for sharing these charming pictures. Long may Scruffy and his chicks flourish!

I hope that he's not disheveled through being attacked :(

[leesa_perrie]

Aww! Isn't he adorable? I love it when their character shines through!

[leesa_perrie]

He is very cute... and demanding of sultanas! Good job I love him! :D
