What a gent!

Recommended Posts

Have just noticed that when I scatter treats for my girls and Henry t cockerel he will pick up a piece of the sweetcorn/pasta and hold it in his beak and make a loud sharp bokking noise until one of the girls comes and takes it from him. Sometimes when he finds a tasty treat he will also pick it up and throw it down for one of the girls. What a gentleman!!!! :-)

Chicken blokes seem to be a lot nicer than their duck counterparts (mallard drakes are particularly inclined to "bother" anything with a pulse - or even without :shock: ). It was particularly touching to hear about the cockerels found during battery rescues, and how they are always really thin because they let the girls eat first :(
