I never asked if you had MY WIFE, but whether you had a wife of your own... You certainly don't "have" mine - she is the best.. Here is a wee proverb for you... A good wife who can find, it is easier to find a needle in a haystack.. but if you find one, make sure you love her truly and make her very happy...

They protect the hens, keep them in check and help the eggs to turn into new stock... It is worth avoiding getting between the hens and the cockerels though....

I had one cockerel which quickly fathered several more who all wanted to fight non-stop and gang rape the hens on a daily basis. One cockerel per flock is maybe ok for some but I drove to almost Manchester to re-home the cockerels I had. Me and the hens are a lot happier with no cockerels although the ones I did have were beautiful birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha - grasping at straws even more desperately - who said he is in any way, shape or form like Morgan.. He might play the same position at times, but it is hard to be identical. He is a stand in option (suspension or injury or when the manager thinks it would be good to bring on fresh legs for Morgan or Smith or possibly others) - and when Morgan leaves, he may well get his slot in the 1st team.. you cannot be that stupid and think I said or meant anything other than this? Oh yes he can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, humbly suggest that you were doing things a bit wrong.. the new cockerels need to be removed, sold, given away or turned into soup or curry. (Unless you are keeping 1 for breeding purposes) Otherwise you have the cock fights and hens constantly being hassled as you experienced... Our 2 cockerels have their own patch and separate broods. They would even try to fight through the wire fencing. Without the boys, you will need to purchase replacement stock from other breeders... but it is egseptional fun collecting fresh tasty eggs every day.. and the poop is great for the veggie patch.

I am aware of that hence I gave them away. It took a while as I could not find anyone to take them. I am a vegetarian so would not kill them or allow them to be killed hence the long drive to Manchester to re-home them. And I was happy to restock via rescuing birds from a 'free range barn' where the birds were kept under poor conditions.
