Our young one does not get into the stable with the others as Henry the other cockerel does not allow him so he sleeps on the net roof. Every morning he comes round at 6am and crows outside our bedroom window wanting his breakfast.

And so he should Sabrina. 6.00am in Summer is everyones breakfast time surely. Our pet cockerel Bottom, walks down the hall to the bedroom door at 6.00am and 'sings' for his breakfast.

you only have to listen to a mother hen chuckling to her chicks (whether they are chicken chicks, ducklings or turkeys!)

had a lovely time this evening listening to on of ours teaching her baby duck how to eat a strawberry, such a deep voice

Our Brian gets very concerned about his girls too and he doesnt give too hoots ( or cocka doodle doos ) about the girls the other side of the fence.
Since having hens my respect for them and birds in general has grown hugely. I think they are very intelligent.
