Cockerel Found - Louise (29th Apr 2014 - 18:13:20) Very impressive looking cockerel in back garden on Headley Road - turned up last night and still there today! Anyone have any ideas on who he is? 01428 723340

Re: Cockerel Found - Dave (29th Apr 2014 - 20:09:16) Been around for weeks and is often in our garden in Tunbridge Crescent.

Re: Cockerel Found - ellie (29th Apr 2014 - 23:18:13) I can pass on a phone number of someone who would probably take him or know what to do with him. I doubt if he is getting enough to eat?

Re: Cockerel Found - linda (29th Apr 2014 - 23:35:58) Hi, If this cockerel is grey and black with red on it's head, then it is a chicken and lives in our garden in Tunbridge crescent. It even lays eggs for us!

Re: Cockerel Found - Jools (30th Apr 2014 - 07:25:49) Cockerel's don't lay eggs!!! It must be a chicken!!!! It is in our garden this morning (Tunbridge Cres). I feel an egg coming on! Does anyone know where it comes from? It's not very friendly so would be difficult to catch.

Re: Cockerel Found - Louise (30th Apr 2014 - 07:29:16) Seen chicken your talking about and not the same - this is a cockerel. The Garden backs onto the fields on the Headley Road. If still around today will try to catch and ideas on what to do with him? Sorry can't resist.... Carrots, potatoes, bread sauce and gravy.

Re: Cockerel Found - Louise (30th Apr 2014 - 11:01:46) Said cockerel now in dog crate in my garden. Anyone want him pls call ASAP!

Re: Cockerel Found - MR CHIPS (30th Apr 2014 - 13:00:09) Can any one confirm how they taste sure it would make a good sunday lunch !

Re: Cockerel Found - Jenny (30th Apr 2014 - 14:41:29) Why not try Golden Valley Poultry,Grayshott.Tel.01428 606231. They took in a cockerel that friends of ours found last year.

Re: Cockerel Found - Louise (1st May 2014 - 08:35:11) The cockerel is needing a home or sorry to say will be despatched. Have called numbers that people have past on to me but it seems like no one wants him. Have a feeling that maybe he was dumped due to the problem of what to do with cockerels. Poor lad now on borrowed time. Last call out for a home for him. 01428 723340

Re: Cockerel Found - S (1st May 2014 - 10:07:35) So you're going to take the thing in and then just kill it?.... If you're going to do that then surely you'd be better off putting it back in the garden since it seems to have been doing okay until now. Plus you've only had it 2 days, not everyone in liphook is on this website and it may well belong to someone somewhere. Imagine coming back from holiday to find someone has killed your chicken for example.

Re: Cockerel Found - Louise (1st May 2014 - 11:10:35) Come and look after until they come home - give me a call and I'll drop round at yours - many thanks for your reply.

Re: Cockerel Found - Louise (1st May 2014 - 12:30:06) Happy to say cockerel now has a home. If anyone comes home from holiday and finds missing a cockerel pls call.

Re: Cockerel Found - Dave (1st May 2014 - 16:27:20) Now have a hen wandering about in our garden!

Re: Cockerel Found - Finchie (7th May 2014 - 00:02:08) Yup the world has gone bonkers. A pair of Mallards wandering along Tunbridge Lane for the last week. They either can't hear the stream or are choosing to ignore the stream. The bloke is always following the lady. I think she is trying to lose him - unsuccessfully. However she is not exactly running and likes to keep looking back to check he is still following. I think he should play hard to get. The Mallards are pretty streetwise/"car aware" - almost arrogant. Unlike the grouse who seem to see a car and then wait, and wait, and wait and then run right in front of it at the worse possible time. I can only conclude that the grouse shooting season is all about helping save them from themselves. I think they are all waiting for the toad crossing, which should be happening pretty soon. I'll keep you all informed as this unfolds. Cheers, Finchie

Re: Cockerel Found - liz (7th May 2014 - 08:28:23) Hope you've seen the peahen in Bramshott too....

Re: Cockerel Found - DH (7th May 2014 - 10:11:20) Finchie!! I have Missed you!!
