Thinking of having a cockerel?

Oh I love that joke!  So my one month old chicks that keep climbing on their mum's back are omens of things to be.  Two cockrels by the sound of it.  At least they leave the little bantam frizzle chick alone. 

Most cockerels don't start crowing til about sunrise and if you put blackout up you can normally kid them to stay quiet a bit longer. However i have had the odd one that will start crowing at 1.00 AM  and unfortunately for them i will not put up with that so they go in the pot!).
Just be aware that it could be noisy and a bad time keeper.
 

Many thanks for your input.

I live in the country with no immediate neighbours so dont have that worry.  I will carry on thinking about it for now and not rush into anything. 

We were given our boy 'Dexter' about nine months ago. I didnt really want him but the husband said the girls would like some male company so i let him get on with it. When we went to pick him up he was secured in a box so we didnt see him till we got home. God he was huge i thought we had an ostrich instead!
It's taken a while for him to settle  but im glad we have him, he is stunning to look at. He didnt crow for about a month but now he does it on and off all day and once at bedtime. Luckily we are in the country. My only regret is im not as close to my girls now as he gets upset and has chased me on many occassions  :blink:

I am lucky and have the sweetest natureed boys, indeed one of little banty boys is going to be the star of my new chicken keeping course! Have told him and he puffed up with pride!!

What a friendly bunch of people you all are!!

I have very mixed feelings about this, its seems its possibly the luck of the drawer as to Whether I get a good or a bad one!!

Hessington thank you for your kind offer, Where abouts are you?
