Something strange happened today...

Recommended Posts

... someone phoned me asking if I had any cockerels, which I thought would never happen! When I asked him why he wanted them he said he's got a light sussex boy, but he wants other breeds so he can hatch his own eggs and have interesting chicks... he also made a point of mentioning how its horrible that a lot of cockerels are killed.

I said I didnt havnt any, but out of courtesy said I would see if any local breeders I know do...

I'm afraid Im the kind of person who cant help but think the worst of a situation. Do you think I should be suspicious that maybe he doesn't want the cockerels for what he says?

I know it's easy to believe the worst - but I always try not to. I would take him at face value, unless you have a good reason why not.

 

It might be exactly as he says, and just wants to try breeding some different "shaped" chicks.

 

And if you did have a "spare" cockerel, then I am sure you would want to see where the wee man was going to end up, and you could validate the person/environment then.

 

There are some "interesting" people out there - but they are a small percentage of the population as a whole fortunately!

My neighbour once came to me and asked if we had a cockeral, knowing that we had chickens. I asked him what he wanted a cockeral for and he replied that he had a broody hen and wanted to make her 'happy' :shock:.

 

He normally get fertilised eggs for her but thought he would try ' borrowing' a cockeral for a little while :wink:

 

Needless to say we haven't a cockeral but pointed in the direction where I knew one was......

 

Maybe he is wanting to make his girls 'happy' :shock:
