Hi Happy Larry. We've just left Burton upon Trent. Problem you have is illegal cock fighting in that area and no-one is going to let you have or buy a cockerel without seeing your setup and being sure you are not supplying the cockfighting rings.

maybe im being naive, if i was looking for that type of cockerel i would be asking for a lean mean fighting machine not a meat cockerel.
