Thats a fine Cock, Newb.

That ain't the first time that phrase has been uttered in my direction.

The difference between a hooker and a rooster...

a rooster says "cock-a-doodle-doo" and a hooker says "any-cock-will-do"

I wanna know which one tastes best fried........

Screw it, I'm mixing things up a bit.

But I must say, this has been a very informative thread so far! I was shocked at how much they vary, especially that Malay Male. Jesus, that thing looks freaky.

We have five chickens, from front to back we have:

Agnes, an Amber Star
Ethel, a Blue Ranger
Biddy, a Black Rock
Hilda, a Light Sussex and
Hetty, a Speckeldy

I'm a Vegetarian you barbarian meateater - if i wasn't 9 stone and weak from malnutrition I'd beat u with in an inch of your life...

Cool stuff man - I can't wait to start. The freash eggs are so much nicer...

I might need tips on training your chickens to march in line like that though..

The eggs taste fantastic, we even have a small trade of selling some to people in work for £1 per six (about £1.60 for free range in shops) which wont make us rich but does cover the cost of feed.

If you want them to charge over every time you enter their pen or if they're free in the garden, its the promise of wheat or corn seed, they go mad for it.

Hopefully - I'll be getting a new place soon and my ambition to be an EGG BARON will at last be realised...

I will have to start with a couple of Rhode Island red hens or something similar before moving onto more exotic ones.

Maybe one will hatch you a GOLDEN egg-you might get rich!
