Okello replaced Caleb, the accountant I’d hired on temporary terms to help set up a basic poultry book- keeping system. I now keep the frizzles (SoG Dec 2, 2017), naked-necks (SoG Dec 23, 2017), feathered-shanks (SoG Jan 20), five-toes (SoG Jan 13) and crests. “How sure are you that these are dwarfs and not normal chickens that are still growing up?”You see, for the last three years or so, I’ve mainly been keeping improved indigenous chickens. “Dwarfs are distinguished from normal birds by their short shanks and small body size”. Another thing is that they require less food and space meaning that you can rear many in a small house.
