Bravely did he venture forth into that place, on hands and knees, The Land being tiny in comparison to his world. And he did bring out of The Land Dark Cockerel and Juniour Cockerel.<br /><br />Junior Cockerel has already been recycled, and Dark Cockerel is in the freezer, plucked, drawn and ready for the oven. "<br /><br />You have an incredible talent as a storyteller...I always love to visit you here!<br />Have a Wonderful Day, Vera :)<br />xo<br />KellyTheChicGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781656678543589662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-54236803415838078272010-08-18T21:42:20.874+02:002010-08-18T21:42:20.874+02:00I know exactly where you are coming from.

A happy flock is one with one boss cockerell and yes, I agree it's too hard to kill and eat straight away, it feels too raw somehow. <br /><br />Our first cockerell was a right git, but we loved him because apart from taking exception at some humans he really looked after 'his girls'. Poor sod is still in the freezer after a broken leg necessitated his early demise and we still can't quite bring ourselves to eat him!Rozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360552472354032509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-40649938860002665722010-08-17T06:17:50.392+02:002010-08-17T06:17:50.392+02:00Oh Duta!

Someone might accuse you of racism as you've described the dark cockerel as violent and the white cockerel as gentle.And on top of that you suspect the black hen being a 'he' or a 'travestite'.

Hope you have sorted out that tree trunk which couldn't be shifted. <br /><br />Ken: I still struggle as well, but hopefully it will get easier to eat our animals as time goes on.<br /><br />Prev (Lost): Can identify with chasing the cockerel round to try and shut him up! If we had had the facilities we would have separated the flocks, but we didn't so he had to go into the freezer. I laughed at the 'chicken saddle'. White Cockerel is gentle, but he does need a bit of help staying on top of our two Limousin hens!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-41032747785268991012010-08-16T15:42:34.189+02:002010-08-16T15:42:34.189+02:00Oh dear, Vera.

He became the bullier, viciously attacking Yam Sing, our beautiful Pekin bantam cockerel. And the crowing.... every 4 seconds from sun up to sun down. My daily workout was chasing him round the garden with a broom yelling at him to shut up! Fortunately, my neighbour was happy to take him in as she had about 30 hens and no cockerel. I think he thought he was in Paradise! The hens were far enough from the house for his constant crowing not to disturb her. I was reading the latest issue of Practical Poultry (as you do) and saw an advert for 'chicken saddles' to protect a hen's back from an over-zealous cockerel!The Accidental Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146937745719946782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-8698845170759983832010-08-16T14:49:39.921+02:002010-08-16T14:49:39.921+02:00Hi Vera
