Edward will be joining us tomorrow.We have a new cockerel joining us tomorrow, called edward. He is a black pekin and sounds lovely. He has to be rehomed because he was meant to be a girl, he was called Abigail. His owner is not allowed to have cockerels after an agreement with her neighbours, so he needed a new home. We will put him in with Buffy and Silvy, our 2 pekin girls, who came with a hen house we bought. Garcon, who is in with them at the moment, but a bit big, will join the slightly bigger girls. I hope they are all OK with the changes, but I think it is best. We lost 4 out of 5 cockerels this last year, so will now take in a couple more to give them a chance of a happy life, nobody wants cockerels because of the noise, but we quite like it and the neighbours haven't complained yet.

IMO it is much nicer to wake up in the morning to a cockerel calling than an alarm clock. We noticed it when we moved here about 15 years ago as our next door neighbours had a bantam cockerel. Took a while to get used to it, but much prefer it now. |

Welcome, Edward! Pics would be nice. I had a pet chicken when I was a child who turned out to be a cockerel (quite illegally, we didn't know then it was against the law); we found out to my mom's enbarassment when a police officer showed up at the door because a neighbor had complained about the crowing! I rather liked it myself. |

Thats a good name for a cockerel..hope he settles in well. I imagine that lots of people need to rehome cockerels due to the noise thing. You will be overrun. |

Well done for giving him a chance. It's a very sad situation with cockerels. I currently have lots of eggs incubating and will be faced with decisions over the boys when the time comes.  |
