Title: Roger
Post by: omnipeasant on July 08, 2012, 07:42:26 pm: 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.

Post by: omnipeasant on July 09, 2012, 12:12:58 pm: 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:

Leg rings?
Title: Re: Roger
Post by: omnipeasant on July 12, 2012, 10:10:56 am: 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:
