Marys new big lad... a handsome Cockerel
Last update: 1.04.09 First posted: 26.03.09 by Mary in LivestockMary’s Big Boy
I have been given a cock, a very big one all though he his only 9 months old he is a wopper.

He was scared at first , the noise of the cars and workmen fixing things made him jumpy, three days later he is counting cars and admiring his view. He comes to the front of the pen when I go to feed the girls so each day, he is getting much braver. I did not want to go in and get the eggs , I was a bit scared and I knew he was more scared, I went inside the pen tonight and he ignored me, I got my two tiny eggs quick sharp.
On his second day I noticed the girls had mud all over their backs, the workman at the pub told me they had been trodden, AKA ravished by the big fellow, they seem none the worse for it.
It seems every man I now meet is a poultry expert, a passer by said today I should get more girls as the two I have will be worn out by big boy, I said blimey do they do it a lot (treading) he gave me a look which I have interpreted as yes!
I wonder where I can get tiny egg boxes and maybe a few more gals to keep big boy happy.
