My boys

[MaureenHall]

I was taking some tables and gazebo over to the allotment just now ready for the open day thingy we're having and I heard "cock-a-doodle-dooooooo". It was Basil, and he did it again. Then I heard another "cock-a-doodle-do" but higher pitched and this time it was Rowan Keep the noise at that level boys and we won't get complaints from the neighbours!

I just love hearing the cocks crowing in the morning. I've currently got four mature cocks, but soon the growers will be joining in I'm sure. Luckily we are miles from any near neighbours so noise not an issue. There is nothing better than getting up early on a day like today, wandering up to let all the birds out and standing and watching them.

I love cockerels too, RH. The sound takes me right back to when I was a kid. Behind my mum's house runs a lane that is so steep it's more like a series of wide, rough steps and it leads to an area of land that is just a deep bowl and useless for anything. Except a chap rented it from the farmer and kept a large flock of hens there. The sound of the cockerels crowing and echoing round that bowl, when I was still warm in bed, was one of the peaceful, 'security' times of my childhood.
Having said that, my Sadie is currently attempting to crow and I really wish 'she' wouldn't.
