For your information, guys, Serge isn't a Bantam: he's a Limousin Grey/Marran cross. That makes him a) moody heavy c) agile. He treats expressions such as "Here, Sergey boy" "chooky" and especially "come to chef" with the contempt they deserve. Oh, he'd come, but with the twin intentions of spurring your jugular and easing your eye out with his beak. I kid you not, he's had the better of all the local tomcats, a pine marten [they specialise in eating chickens as a rule] and won a stand-off on points with a local German Shepherd...
Any "red-eye" you see in his photos isn't an effect of the camera: it's natural!
