mullethunter 152 Posted December 5, 2018 Yes Pootle the Sablepoot has been crowing his little heart out for the last couple of weeks. Heās a lovely little chap and so pretty. The crowing is ok at the moment but I donāt think we will be able to keep him when heās crowing in the summer at 5 in the morning! Heās so pretty that Iām hoping someone might want him to breed from in the spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heās so pretty that Iām hoping someone might want him to breed from in the spring. He IS very pretty! Somewhere in the not very near vicinity of my house there is a cockerel who crows all through the night... I have heard him at 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am...

In fact often even though heās funny to see I doĀ feel sorry for him and think itās a mean bit of breeding - he finds perches especially difficult and often steps on his own foot feathers and falls over! Poor Pootle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvachicken 128 Posted December 10, 2018 I can always hear my girls shuffling along. It always sounds like they are wearing extra long trousers that dragĀ along the floor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
