Title: New Cockerel Ken
Post by: CarolW on January 10, 2011, 08:40:39 pm

Hi, One of our neighbours (they have only just moved here in the last few weeks) gave us a Cockerel he wanted rid of on Saturday (he's got 2 others)
He is a 3 year old Buff Orp and he is smashing ! He took his time wandering around the run, very calm and collected & took his time getting aquainted with the girlies.
He is quite calm with us when we go in the run, so I think he's going to settle in nicely.
Oh, we have named him Ken (tucky) and the girls are the dippers !!  I know we are very sad !!! ;)

sounds like you've picked a good 'un ....  our cockerel Lenin came from a neighbour & still isnt very tame after 2 years!

how many girlies does he have to look after?
