Teenage cock


This chook's a bit tough. Posted by Hello

It's a maelstrom (or should that be malestorm?) of adolescent chicken hormones around here since my sister decided to give us a cockerel. He's a Plymouth Rock, which is a very posh heritage strain, and excellent eating apparently. He loves our Black Australorp, Barry White, and tries to root her all the time, which seems OK with her.

We're having a bit of a blue about what to call him. O thinks "Gordon Bennett" on the basis that this is some amusing English thing (although O is not English, and hasn't satisfactorially explained to me what is funny about a chook called "Gordon Bennett".) Me, I don't know, although I'm leaning toward "Mr Collins" since my sister stole "Mr Darcy" for the whopping grown up rooster she bought the same day. Suggestions are welcome.
