LETS HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS..........

Post by aceface »

after reading some great threads on here about our lovely ladies i thought the lovely little boys we have in our lives get a little overlooked with the girls getting lots of picture room so i thought wed give the lads a bit of a leg up
FRANKII WHIPPERS
Frankii Whippers joined my little ex batt girls in August 2012 as a flock of four little pullets i got for my birthday ,all beautiful and a georgeous fluffy orange we proudly named our fluff ball Francine ,she lived a happy little life alongside her sisters growing every week and integrating nicely with the big girls ,until one fine autumn day the babies were let out after their breakfast and Francine flew onto the patio table in the middle of the garden and promplty let out a strangled half cocked dood1e!!!!!!!!!!
flippin heck i nearly choked on my cheeriioos i thought i was hearing things as someone who lives near me has a cockerel and i wasnt too sure ,but no Francine stretched out her neck did a funny tippy toe dance and let out and ear piercing cockerel a dood1e do ,no mistaking it this time ,in no time at all i was on the phone to mom "crikey mom come round i've got something to tell you" round she came and we waited and waited and waited but to no avail nomore doodling ,this went on for a couple of days and nothing no dood1e,anyway i noticed how differently her comb had become and strangely shaped feathers on her back ,she was definatley a he so we had a think ,could we keep him should we send him back but as usual i had fallen in love with my little orange fluff ball and there was no way i could return him so he was renamed Frankii Whippers and he has become a beautiful proud boy all long legged and has a beautiful beetle shine to his black tail feathers he is protective of his ladies and shows his adoration by dancing for them every morning ,he is gentle with his advances and leaves my ex batts well alone ,i was fearful he would trouble them but no he is scared of them when my big girls are near to him he walks away and dorey often keeps him in check yet every day he sunbathes alongside her on the very top stone on the rockery ,he rpounds up his girls at bedtime and waits til they are settled until he retires himself,he waits til they have fed and then eats himself ,he is happy to be picked up and is not a nasty boy at all ,his body clock is out of canter fortunatley he crows a 1pm and occasionally at 3pm ish my neighbours havent complained >fi< and he has a forever home with me ,i love my little Frankii Whippers and am proud to say i have a cockerel

Ace if I could find a boy who only called during working hours then I think I would get one too - the only boy I have is a handsome cockerel that resides in my kitchen buthe is only a wall plaque.
