Picture thread of my hens!

Wow, you could point your your camera at almost any angle off the hill and get a good photo; it is such a beautiful vista.

It's great you had your camera at the ready when Bella's Boy attempted mating. How funny! He has a lot to learn.

Dorothy wants to be a penguin

I took my dog on a walk a while ago and entered this woods and there was a cockerel right infront of me! I was a bit confused and then someone came up and said he's been here a while and they saw someone dump him. I went home and got a towel and some bread and went back and he was still there and he took bread out of my hand and everything! Once I got the chance I grabbed him, wrapped him in a towel and he is now home with me. I took him up to the hens and he is in my broody coop until I know what I'm doing. He was sooo hungry poor boy

I'd say he's a lucky cockerel! Is he a bantam, or is it just the camera angle that makes him look small? Pretty boy!

I'm not quite sure. He's rather a big bantam or a young LF

Bella and her baby had me nearly in tears today! Bella was having a dust bath and he wanted to join in but couldn't fit so he started pecking Bella and pulling her comb and she was screaming and got up and chased him and then they settled down again and she was having a dust bath and he went and climbed on top of her and started trying to mate her but he didn't know to hold her head so she turned around and started dragging him off by his head! It was hilarious :')

Bella's boy has been so naughty over the past couple of days! Yesterday, George was trying to mate one of the top hens and he took it as an opportunity to attack her, so off her went going for her and then she fell over a shovel and George fell off her and she turned around and all she saw was Bella's boy so she thought it was him and flapped at him and started chasing him around the feed pen! Thought he has learnt his lesson, but today Bella attacked my light Sussex Lacey and he decided to carry on going after her when Bella stopped and Lacey turned around and give him a beating, he then went for a dust bath with Bella and started pecking her and she got angry and stood up and give him a beating, and then it all settled down and he decided to mate Bella! (I tried to get a pic but it was a bit blury) once he stopped Bella got up and started on him and he started levelling her up! He backed down after a bit! Then the same top hen from yesterday came towards him and Bella and she like give Bella the evils and then brushed past her and Bella's boy chased her and jamp on her and she screamed, turned around chased him round and round Bella and poor Bella ended up getting a beating for it too! She wants to get rid of him now, he's getting her in so much trouble! You can see in the last pic when the hen turns and goes for Bella too!

It doesn't sound like all those floggings have been enough to keep his raging hormones in check, LOL. Poor Bella is taking the heat for his misbehavior.

Its honestly hilarious to watch (aslong as he gets told off for it)! Just hope he doesn't take it out on me like his dad did yesterday!
