Chickens?

[markieg31]

Well in the interest of my wife and children I won't be getting any another cockerel intentionally. 

My wife and her mum purchased 10 light Sussex unsexed, 8 cockerels. 'bluey' was the first to turn, followed by the rest. Took them all to a poultry place and got them back ready for the freezer. Had another beautiful one that was supposed to have been a hen purchased with another group. He was fine then snapped and turned. I was bent down collecting eggs and he nailed me, bit of a gash on me forehead. Then then the latest who is again in the freezer.

my late friend had some eggs given to him and put them under a broody, odd looking things when they hatched,, turned out they were shamo aseels,

they were impressive birds, fortunately only one was a cockerel, but boy was he a character, he would be affectionate like a loyal cat, and actively sought it out, but totally different with any threat to his hens, he would ride on his horses back, lie down with lurchers, and once he saw one attacking a fox that fancied chicken that night he let loose a full blown onslaught, between him and the dog they didn't just kill it,, they feckin' shredded it. the kids would carry him about on carts and even dressed him up one time. he was one comical guy alright.
