I also picked up a lot of 5 agricultural medals. I was after the two Ottley medals in the lot, but also ended up with the three other medals, at first of passing interest to me.
Much to my delight, this medal, listed as anonymous, clearly was hallmarked as being struck by the Restall firm, a favorite of mine, in 1910/1911. Does anyone know what sort of poultry is pictured?

Look like female pheasants to me but it's probably a more exotic bird that's extinct. Peace Roy

Looks like a chicken. The Old English Game or other Game type. Link to a page of a modern one. Long leggity chickens. https://poultrykeeper.com/chicken-breeds/modern-game-chickens/
edited to add crop from screen shot to get an idea.
Yes, chickens.
The wood door in the background must be a clue that they are farm animals rather than wild birds.
Well there you go! Make great pet you say? Like a guard chicken? Peace Roy
