In it for the food

Hellow from Perth East, tiny hamlet, name gives it away. I have 50 dual purpose barred rocks, not pets for sure more like outdoor pantry.

We got barred rocks cause they are a nice dual breed, pretty to look at , not so noisy and the hackle makes for great fly tying materials, lol.
