More cocks than you could shake a stick at

Isnt life strange! The other night about 10 to 10 our neighbour knocked on our door to say someone had dumped a load of chickens on the allotment and they needed rounding up before they did serious damage. Off hubby and son went armed with boxes and returned with 4 birds. As it was darker couldn't really see hat they were. Next morning there was a rumpus in my hen house, my lovely little warren was extremely aggressive towards the newcomers so I feared thy maybe a rooster in the group. Never having had much cock experience we weren't really sure how to recognise them , the Internet proved inconclusive . This is where social networking comes into its own , good old Facebook. After posting some snaps in the group Poultry Stuff Wales it turns out that all 4 birds are boy Warrens ....not quite of doodling age , no wonder they were dumped. For more reasons than I care to o into we won't be able to carry on with this cock fest. It's not fair on my girls or the neighbours. I'm not quite sure how David's going to do it but he's said the boys will be gone by the end of the day.....I wonder if it'll be chicken for dinner tomorrow????
