Rocky Rooster

We were trying to get the hens back into their ark about 1/2 hr ago. Rocky seemed quite restless & suddenly just flew off out of the pen. Unlike the last cockerel he seemed happy to stay around us but we couldn't get close enough to catch him. We came into the house to see if he would fly back in on his own. He then disappeared & the kids were in the living room when he reappeared at the back door, which is glass, pecking at it. I opened the door & he ran straight in. After a chase around the room, Davey caught him. If we lose this cockerel it'll be the last. Jersey Giants are the breed I'm going to buy from now on as they are too big & fat to fly.

We just burst out in laughter reading about your rooster.
We just imagined you all running around trying to catch it.
The joys of having a smallholding!

Your neighbour

I think it might be easier to train the rooster!
