craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Remember Bumble the Cobar chick I hatched along with Boon the partridge cochin? Well Boon is a forever growing female, but Bumble is a cockerel! He first crowed on Monday morning around 9am when he saw me, he didn't bother crowing at hubby when he let them out. It's not a full cock a doodle doo yet, but a really good attempt - it's lovely! He stands there, pulls his little wings back, sticks his head high and crows.....ur urrrrrrrrrrrr! He he he He loves Cassandra, the gold legbar - he likes the more mature ladies. He still loves Boon though too. Eventually I will breed. I have been told by Wernlas that I'd get some fabulous stunning hens if I were to put Bumble the Cobar with Boon the partridge Cochin. I'm very pleased he's a cockerel as he is very beautiful to look at & very very soppy. He loves his cuddles! I didn't think cockerels could be like this! One of my neighbours can't wait for the full cock a doodle doo to happen. Brilliant! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkybijou Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Awww, what a handsome chap! So jealous, I would love a cockerel but my neighbours most certainly wouldn't. You are very lucky indeed to have such an understanding neighbour. Fabulous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 He's very pretty isn't he. I think our Sonic (blue pekin) may be a boy - he's much bigger than the other chick and I've noticed some wattles starting to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
