meezers Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Well, the auaracana was suppose to arrive as Dilbert left ( one way or the other)to make letting him go easier, but Bertie is still very much here.I've decided that I'll try to rehome him until he crows- if I'm not successful he'll be dinner OH is not being helpful, hypocrite that he is , he doesn't want Dilly to be culled - though he's quite happy to tuck into roast chicken on a sunday.

Ah, can you not keep him I thought cockerels were OK where you live? Interestingly enough we found out that some neighbours actually miss hearing our boys Sunday and Dinner. Just a shame that not all of them felt that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough we found out that some neighbours actually miss hearing our boys Sunday and Dinner. Just a shame that not all of them felt that way Well, it's a possibility. There are 4 cockerels in the village that I know of and you have to listen very hard to hear them. But, the other cockerels are in gardens belonging to detached houses and we are in a semi , so have one set of neighbours to consider. They are only renting though and haven't been there too long, so I may wait and see just how loud Dillys crow is . On the other hand, I never planned on keeping him and I'm not sure what use he'd be ( apart from nice to look at ) as I then wouldn't have the room to hatch and keep any more chicks.
