    Massive Comb!!!!

    Anyone else had a cockerel with the biggest comb ever? This is our boy Foghorn Leghorn. We hatched him last year he’s about 7 months old. We have had hens for over 20 years and in that time we have NEVER seen a cockerel with such a big comb and wattles. Competition time? 😂

Today we had a fox attack...
