Title: two cockerels two hens
Post by: langdon on April 24, 2010, 08:03:55 pm
this is our guess as to what we may have, not gona be disapointed with any cockerel from any batch
this season, as i love cockerels just as much as the humble hen.
there is nothing like going about your buisness on the holding when a cockerel is on his perch and
belting out that cock a doddle doo!!
leting all the ladies just who is the man ;D

Best to keep cockerels seperate as they will fight when they get a certain age.They are beautiful but they will seriously injure each other if kept together.

after killing falcon the shetland cockeral. he used to wait at the front door to attack we have a maran who has taken over the role of boss cockeral. he has a gang of 4 legbar cockerals who seem to be in a chicken gang. when he attacks they join in. i need to get killing again. just have to convince one of the kids to catch him for me. i just hope the cochins or brahmas don't pickup from were he will be leaving off from.
