can only imagine how you feel Bill. i have a che pied cock here , had him since i started in 2004 .he is safe in the stock loft ,and is full of character ,like an old friend ,dread the day he goes .
had 2 latebred hens late going in today ,i had given up and was having a cuppa in the kitchen ,a hawk came over ,but the crows and seagulls done a sterling job chasing it away .
