Caligula's replacement.


We had a rather nasty visit about a month ago. We lost beautiful Caligula the Scot's Grey cockerel who has repopulated the Highlands & low lands - or so it would seem. We lost Dame Edna our magnificent huge Lavender Orpington & two of his three degrees - Black Orpingtons. We also lost two Scot's Grey hens & three young Orpingtons - one of each colour - Buff, Black & a Lavender.
Pyscho the smallest & fierciest Scot's Grey hen in the whole world suffered horrendous injuries, but she's survived ( which is incredible) & is still pecking all the other chickens into line & back to chasing fat cat up trees.

Hamish is a much smaller cockerel than Caligula but having been raised from an egg is posibly less of a thug!
