Old Speckled Hen

Cock-a-doodle-doo

Recommended Posts

From bocking like a hen my new cockerel found his voice this morning :D

What a palaver it has all been. :wall:

I ordered a trio of Vorwerks but a week before collecting them a fox got in and killed the cockerel. I did a deal with a guy in an auction car park (I know. I know. :shameonu: ) and got a wonderful replacement. The following day I collected the remaining two pullets. Having my suspicions about one of them I took them both anyway ( I wasn't happy with where they were living) and one of them was a boy.....serves me right,I guess. :roll: Anyway he has now been swapped for a crested cream legbar. BUT she is a little bigger than my cock and he is bullying her. SO I now have them separated and my little chicken area is looking like a shanty town with my original four in one hut, the Vorwerk and his wife in another and the poor little legbar on her own in a rabbit hutch. So I've ordered a (cube purple)8) I will leave them the weekend to settle and start working on introductions on Monday. Phew!!!

Pictures next week when I get them out free ranging.

Need names now .......I thought of Jumping Jack Flash for the boy :D Hubby said, "You can't name a cockerel after my father!" ................. "Don't be silly" I said "he's not named after your Dad :lol::lol::lol: "
