Title: What am I?
Post by: Roxy on March 29, 2012, 12:30:52 am

The white bantam cockerel  peering in the bucket, and the large brown and white cockerel to its left, were in a batch of blue eggs given to me by a neighbour last year.  There is also a smaller version of the brown and white one, also a cockerel.  I am assuming the white one is a pekin x, but not sure about the brown and white ones - they have very large distinctive combs.  Also from the same blue eggs I have an enormous white cockerel, who has a slight black  ruff on his neck.  And a very stunning multicoloured cockerel.  Out of the 12 eggs I seem to have more than my share of cockerels - but quite a selection of sizes and breeds!!!
