Cockerell in my garden.....:S

Rozabeez

There's a cockerell in my garden, I don't know how it got there as the walls are pretty high.

I've heard it a few times before but it certainly wasnt in my garden, my dog is going crazy and I know that someone nearby must be keeping chickens or something, we live in an estate so I'm just a bit confused and don't know what to do with the damn thing.

ew no, then I'd have to pluck it!

and besides, it's someone's pet. How would you feel if we all ate your pet?

Zombienosh

you wanna eat my dog?

koneko

alcholic,
What did I say? On topic now or you're out on your ear.

Zombienosh

ok
ok
*looks at his dog*

well whatcha do see, is erm let him out?...just open the gate and tell him to feck off........

or throw him over the wall........ cocks cant fly can they?

Rozabeez

even weirder, my dog (a lab) was just out in the garden with the cockerell, and they totally ignored each other.

Zombienosh

haha cud be worse, he cud be scared of it......

just put on some gloves and pick it up and put it out.

Rozabeez

no! then it'll get hit by a car or something!

Zombienosh

then ring the people who have chickens and tell them
or ring the animal people
rolf harris or something

Rozabeez,

Are there any people in the neighbourhood that you know of that keep animals? Perhaps you can ask them if they know of anyone that has lost it. Otherwise i'd ask your local vet for advice aswell or if he knows of someone that might keep birds like that, he/she might even be able to take him in.

my neighbourhood is full of weirdos, any of them could be keeping chickens, but how did the damn thing get over the wall? can they fly?

The evidence would suggest that they can indeed fly.

Rozabeez

could have been blown over, maybe it was windy last night, or maybe some horrible person threw it over!

I doubt it! If a cockeral can be blown around, a cat can, and my cats were all safely on all four paws!
Maybe someone did throw it, but it's unlikely. It most likely flew.

Rozabeez

but if chickens cant fly, then surely cockerells cant either.

Chickens can fly! Only for a short distance, (hence they don't do it much)
but they can indeed fly.

Rozabeez

It seems to have dissapeared...

Peace

Since your a fellow boards member we'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe there indeed was an invading cockrell in the garden....

Next time though there better be digital imagery of the cockrell holding up todays news paper with the headlines clearly visible.

Rozabeez

It didnt dissapear, it just hid in my shed for a few hours, it has left blisters on my poor dog. evil rooster thing!

Nala

I used to have chickens, I loved them. We had to give them away

Rozabeez

ok, someone has come up with a theory that it has something to do with the chinese "year of the rooster" or something like that. maybe there's some chinese folk about.
