Who Let the Cat Out of the Bag?


oops! - I meant ROOSTER. Today we were supposed to receive the 1st addition to our poultry collection. The kids were waiting excitedly for it's arrival. The idea was to keep it in for a few days in the hen ark until it got used to us. So hen ark prepared the 'guy' arrived with the cockerel in a bag. Now there's no way that I would want to embarrass anyone so he shall remain unnamed!! He untied the bag & in a flash the rooster flew out across the field. An hour was spent trying to recapture it but it seemed to have more brains than it's captors. A few tail feathers are all we have left for our encounter. He was quite a beauty & no doubt if he hasn't been eaten by a fox we will hear him crowing in the morning. Our attempts at keeping free range hens has got off to a good start - he had plans for being more free range than we had planned. Will post a photo of him if we manage to catch him tomorrow.
