No it's a cockerel, actually he is sweet, and very well behaved, very calm, not like you would expect at all.
I often open her car door on her return, to find some poor creature in the back.
It was tiny Indian runner ducks the other week which had stuck in the shell under the heat lamp and were in a real mess.
We soaked them for a while and cleaned them up.
Next morning they were fine, trouble was we were the first things they saw when the eyes opened, so we became the parents.
They followed us everywhere, and I mean everywhere, it was very funny, I have a pic somewhere.
We returned them to the sanctuary a few days later, and every time mrs T went in the pen, along came "Donald" bold as brass.
Great to see them survive though.
All rather strange really, I was raised on a large farm as a Child, and rung more hens necks than you could throw a stick at.
And now I have packed in the shooting, I have become very soft in my old age, and see them in a different light.
I even watch rabbits on the lawn and find myself smiling and feeling protective of them.
10 years ago, I was out lamping them.
I think we all mellow with age, thank the lord.

SKB tackle supporter. I love Furled Leaders.
but for allowing that "little chap" in the house. I would be sent away to sleep in a box down the street, and I am the one that pays for everything!
