Charlie envy

I walked to visit a friend who has recently ventured into keeping chickens.

Her husband said to me within minutes of arriving, “you don’t want a cockerel, do you?”.

Yes, I’d love one, but I really can’t do that to our close neighbours. My friend’s family are all woken up at 6am every morning and because they gave a cockerel to a neighbour up the road, the whole road is subjected to competing cockerels.

But they are so wonderful. This one is Charlie. He’s solid and proud and protective of his coop and he’s so good looking, in a chicken’y type of way. :-)
