i really appreciate you're giving us the 411.
oh and i love Wikfords long graceful neck! how old is he? they facts you showed us said they live about 30 years...
He's 2 1/2. His father is 6 and his mother 4. The females usually have the long necks, but he is a confirmed boy. The nik among fanciers for a feminine male is 'Henny Cock'

They race them during the first year of their lives as well. These races are known as 'young bird races'.
