There will be a brawl like one of those great Western Movie Saloon fights tomorrow.
You will hear the aggressive clucking from space....hens can act like groups of bitchy drag queens when they meet up for the first time.

Perhaps a remake of the animated film "Chicken Run" could be shot on your property. It would save money on plasticine. You would of course star as the farmer Mr Tweedy and Aunt Gladys could step in as Mrs Tweedy. It would no doubt be very popular in Ukraine...and Rhyl.
ReplyDeleteHaha
DeletePerhaps you could play a Yorkshire Wallace
As long as there was plenty of Wensleydale available in my trailer.
DeleteRule one of drag queen fighting, rip the wig off.
ReplyDeleteRule two, expose your opponent's chest.
Rule three, open to suggestions.
I love bitch fights
DeleteMarvelous...keep the video rolling for that one!
ReplyDeletei hope the hens act a bit better than that!
ReplyDeleteTo think I have to travel all the way to Trelawnyd to learn about fighting drag queens at a beauty pageant.
ReplyDeleteI will keep an ear out! It would be much easier if you'd video it, though, seeing as it will probably be 2 am here when the gala gets going.
ReplyDeleteAs Harry Hill would say.... FIGHT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn your post yesterday, you said there were two cockerels. Will they be kept separate, or are you putting each one in one of the new spaces with the 10 hens?
ReplyDeleteOne cockerel is the grandson of my " original " duncan.
DeleteHe will be allocated the new hens at the bottom of the field.
Theother cockerel will be housed in a run on his own and rehomed at some stage Megan
Great your Duncan lives on!
DeleteIf the cockerels were okay together at their last place chances are they will continue to co-exist quite happily at yours if you can't manage to find a home for the other one.
DeleteWow, who would have thought there would be so much drama?
ReplyDeleteLet the games begin!!!
ReplyDeletewell this takes your martyr status up a whole new level...
ReplyDelete:p
xoxox
Ms sparrow
DeleteWhat do you expect from a gay household!.
You might just get enough feathers for a small pillow then!
ReplyDeleteHope you do a video of it...I'd love to see them meet and greet.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I have had good luck by placing the new chickens in the henhouse after dark when the others are all asleep, when they wake up in the morning and I let them all out of the henhouse they are all friends and don't fight.
ReplyDeleteI lost one of my oldest "girls" last week, makes me sad, even when they have been provided a good life and die of old age it feels as though I have lost a friend.
good luck with your new "biddies" have you named them all yet?
Joyce in the USA
Joyce... I did that last night but there are so many new girls they have taken up three old coops in their entirity
DeleteI hope you get some good layers out of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for taking them, John. And, no questions asked! You're a good man.

No doubt it will be quite a show - the meeting of the hens. What do you suppose they cluck about? I bet it is something like, hey! My egg's bigger than your egg.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you interest in birds begin John?
ReplyDeleteFeathered variety ?
DeleteOnly a few years ago
Of the busted variety
DeleteNEVER!
The Hurricane's yoga instructor sometimes livens up his classes by chatting about dressing in drag. Perhaps The Hurricane should ask him about drag queen battles.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
They'll soon settle down John and all will be peace again once the top hen has emerged. If anyone can look after them it is you.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else I would ask how they cane upon this You Tube clip, but not you, John.
ReplyDelete'Cane' - NO! I meant 'came' of course... oh no... never mind.
DeleteHmm okay I must have missed something here I must go back and catch up on posts. Ta ta and see you soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my what the cluck, I'm still lost.
DeleteClucking hell,John!
ReplyDeleteJane x
A perfect response.
DeleteWell, my dear friend Hilary told me about this here introduction of new chickens into an established flock. She said it was pretty much like a cocktail party, had to be approached carefully.... Still, like I said before, with the fox the other side of the fence, I will never know. Sad, really, but never mind. Good luck and I would love to see that 'gunfight' video!
ReplyDelete32? Wow. Congratulations?
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :-)
So you are going to unleash 32 chickens at one time? It'll be forever known as Battle in the Bosoms.
ReplyDeleteWhat you need to do is put William the dog in a policeman's outfit (the picture on the right side of your blog) to stand guard snarling every time one of them opens their mouth. I'm sure it will do the trick.
