So my cockerel now has a name!!
I had decided to name him after whoever won the men's finals at Wimbledon. I hoped it would be Nadal as Rafael is a great name for cockerel, however for a while he could have been Andy, then at last he is Roger. That seems like a suitable name for a randy rooster. To celebrate he crowed for the very first time just after the match.
Here he is with the girls enjoying the overgrown garden.

Sweet little chap in chicken paradise it appears Omnipeasant.
-
yay! go Roger! :)
-
very handsome :chook:
-
Ours were Shagger and Roger. Roger was eaten by a fox and has been replaced by Randy.
-
if ever i get to the position of having a cockerel i want to call him,
Humphrey!!!
;D ;D ;D :chook: :chook: :chook: ;D ;D ;D
-
Glad you like his name. lol at Shagger hughesy.
We now have Roger, Queenie, Bumble A and Bumble Bee. I just need names for the light sussex girls.
-
Lucy light, Lulu light and Lizzy light? :D ;D
-
But Rosie, I can't tell the difference betweens the lights yet! Queenie is easy becase she is the first to run towards me and she is silver of course. So I could call them all Lucy :innocent:
-
I call my cockerel Henry and always use the same name when we need a new one.
-
Mine dont have names this time. The little bantam cock is boss and we have an isabrown (I think) cock to do the larger ladies. Unfortunatly the lone sring chick that looked like it was going to be a very nice larger hen creowed this morning!!!! oops.
-
We have General George Custer, cause he's a Little Big Horny. :-J
-
Our young fella is called Randy ... he was "son of Rocky" til he realised what it was for! ;)
-
Very amusing Tizaala. Ours are not as humourous, just Basil, Frankie, Claude, Merlin, Boris and last but certainly not least our pet Bottom.
-
So I could call them all Lucy :innocent:
I used to have 10 identical RIR x LS females all called Wendy as their hen house was a childs wendy house ;D
But Rosie, I can't tell the difference betweens the lights yet
Leg rings?
-
Don't know about leg rings but I could put a little bit of sheep marker on them" Otherwise they are all Lucy. To be honest as long as I can count three of them when they came in at night it doesn't matter too much. Lol at the ten Wendys.
Oh, before I forget, why didn't I think of this earlier. Roger's full name is ROGER FEATHERER. :innocent:
-
Dan still hasn't delivered on the Groan button , Roger Featherer. ! when you pluck him does he turn into his French cousin Roger DeFeatherer? :wave:
