How exciting, Joy Have you thought of names?

not yet although I had a little cockerel of Debbie a while ago that unfortunatly suffered a mishap and his name was Eddie Cochran so may name the cockerel after him. 

 

Methinks chickens are prone to mishaps. In one week I found Barry the cockerel's head inside Ruby's mouth  fortunately she left when I screeeeeched "leave" to her. He survived to tell the tale, my nerves were shot to pieces  Next was Mrs White who I found hanging by one foot in the slats of the garden chair - she hobbled around for a couple of days after I massaged the blood back into the very blue and swollen foot last (and I knew there'd be 3) was Bella who hurt her wing, then hurt her leg trying to jump with only one wing..............she's still in the sick bay and enjoying every minute of it!  :blink: Seem to need eyes in the back of your head to keep them out of trouble

Yes, I think the only reason he survived was because she had hold of him at the top of his beak, no punctures, just dents!  I expect he had a headache though. I had to go out so left him under the heat lamp in the shed fully expecting him to be "gone" on my return. Took a couple of days before he was back to normal
