On Monday I finally got my run,nest boxes and perches finished .
I'd just put the finishing touches to the door in the run when my friend came in 'I'll box up those 2 cockerels for you in the morning,you can fatten them up to eat' he said.
I told him I didn't have any food yet but he said 'I'll bring some'.
Ok.....All was well

The next morning when I went up to the allotment and looked in the run,4 cockerels were looking back :blink: 3 from him and 1 from another friend who obviously thought it was better off with me than him.  :blink:
My plan was to have 6 hens maximum and a couple of meat birds every now and again.
I've got 4 birds already and guess what ?........................Not 1 single egg!

Do you think they saw you coming Judd?!!

Don't forget we like to see photos of your setup and livestock.

Oh dear 

I'd have a word as you don't want more and more cockerels appearing, but I guess it is 4 chicken dinners at the very least.  They should be fine as a batchelor group, but it does rather knacker your plans to introduce hens, as they will fight like crazy if there are ladies around

Sorry for the late reply but I haven't looked on here or a while
I'll get a couple of pics and post them.
Anhbuc ,I definitely think they saw me coming.....From a long way off!
New shoot,I'm not going to worry about them fighting when my hens arrive because as you say ,4 chicken dinners Well chicken pies and a coq au vin

That's the best way to think of it Judd, careful you don't get too attached to them.

Not much chance of that happening Anhbuc,I'm not the sentimental type
