Maybe the hens killed him ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Perhaps he fcuked himself to death with the three hens, when you examined him did he have a smile on his beak? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone down our road had a massive cockerel and no hens and the bugger crowed all day, one of the neighbours went fence hopping one night and removed his voice box ( and his head) with a golf club I think it was. How is you Golf these days Gnipper. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

big sid 1,119 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 no near houses so dont think it was a person, thought about the defending thing but after it killed the cock why leave the hens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
