oops

[mr darcy]

oops am going to look at four small cockerells with fluffy feet tomorrow, because they hate each other and three are for the chop...might take one, might not.....

[Suechooks]

Onto the norty step Mr D!

[Nicos]

You know you're going to have to call him Mr Darcy the 2nd don't you????

Have fun!!!

[its hilly]

If theyre small and fluffy footed they sound cute get two
No seriously, if youve got two theyre more likely to hassle each other than you, as long as they have more than just a couple of hens to run around with.

[Nicos]

TWO??????...oh heck!!!!...well ya never know- my two brothers get along.

[its hilly]

Lol.. Nicos
I've got about 8 cockerals running round, and although they sometimes square up the only two who have ever had a fight proper were the two hybrid brothers. And that didn't last long cos the big white anti noise squad came along and beat them both up till they stopped.
no not me, the gander! no fight nonsense on HIS patch.

You just can't resist can you? Bet you come back with ALL of them!!

PS: You must change your name to Mrs D I think. I know you're a laydee so can't quite get my head round calling you Mr!

went to pick up cockerell this eve, but he's been so badly beaten up that they are going to keep him till sunday (apart from the others of course) he's absolutely covered in blood, poor little fella will report back on monday with piccies!!!

[RichmondHens]

He'll probably look even worse as once the blood is dry it will turn black. Then they look a real mess. But the scabs drop off fairly quickly and they soon get back to normal.

[mr darcy]

he's not very big either, sort fluffy brown and green with fluffy short legs and seems to favour a large hat!! will he be ok with scarlet as she's a big old bird! will he er manage her ok?

Call him Rhett and I'm sure Scarlet won't give a fiddle-dee-dee about him!

[RichmondHens]

Just be aware small cocks on big hens can do damage as they scrabble about to get into position. But he may be perfectly ok, so don't worry for now.

[mr darcy]

praps they'll sit down if any dammage will have to go back!!!!!

[RichmondHens]

He just might not be able to catch them! I've got my Minorcas running with a cock at the moment who is big enough to cover them (just) but they outrun him, their legs are so long. He's also got cream legbars in there who are much smaller so he usually gives up on the Minorcas after a few minutes and makes do with the legbars.
