cockerel gone missing
« on: May 13, 2013, 22:57 »
My young cockerel as pictured has gone missing. Looked everywhere. No feathers and not other birds missing and it was day time. Thinking maybe a hawk?!? Not sure what to do. He was my favourite feel so upset! x

Do you have neighbours with hens he might have been attracted to them calling?  I hope he turns up.

No unfortunately. Think he must have been got by something. Spent nearly four hours looking and cant find him anywhere or any feathers that would depict a fight. Gutted he was only young and ever so wonderful. :(
thanks x x x

Could he have been taken by a two legged predator?  Other members have had birds stolen.   :(
