The arrival of chicks is due to Frederick, the glorious, imperious, arrogant, scary, obsessed, domineering, swaggering and very handsome cockerel. Below you see him as a baby, on the day he came to live with us ..... he is definitely one very impressive creature!!
Today I will tell you a little bit about him. His name Frederick was chosen a few years before we bought him. I had always liked this name. Indeed, the anti-hero of An Idiomatic Love Story, is named Frederick.
I had a dream of listening to the gentle crowing of a cockerel early in the morning, and this dream has come true. Freddy, as he is affectionately known, is a very considerate bird, in that he starts crowing after 6am. This is a very reasonable time of day. He also crows whenever he feels like it, or when he sees me. I am the unfortunate cause of his stress and we have a love-hate relationship....
