    Mendy, the hen on the right (3rd pic in post 348) looks like it's turning into a cockerel. The comb & wattle are bright red, plus the comb is erect. (or is that a young male?)

    ^ I hop not!

    Katie, she's all girl. I don't think this transgender stuff is that common with chickens.

    It's not Scotland.

    Not sure where I should put this question but thought that there might be someone on here who has an answer.
    It seems that I have an outbreak of chicken lice and I don't have a clue how to fix it i.e. get rid of them.

    Sorry Ootai, but just to clarify... do you mean that you've had the outbreak or your chickens?

    Maybe isolate the chickens to prevent you spreading it to the flock?

    Nelson is really in his prime just now and I have never had a better looking cock.



    I threw the lawn cuttings into the run and Nelson joined his girls scratching around, looking for treats.



    Lola is never far away. Every day is still an adventure for her.



    I noticed that Blackie was about to step on one of those green elastic bands that cover the ground in Isaan. We get leftover veggies from the market for the chickens and they are always bundled together with green or red elastic bands. I've asked the gardener on numerous occasions to just put them in his pocket rather than throw them on the ground... but you learn to pick your battles in Isaan.



    Once my eye was in I just couldn't ignore them...



    If I left Isaan today, never to return, my abiding memory would be of plastic bags littering... everywhere, and green and red elastic bands discarded all over the place. And while I'm on the subject of plastic bags...

    WTF has happened to the lemon tree?!!



    The reason I sat a while with the hens today is that there are three young males who need to find a new home. They're coming on for a year old now and are coming to the attention of Nelson. He doesn't take kindly to any competition although at least two of these young bucks will soon be larger and stronger than Nelson. They must have hatched from the big brown eggs laid by the red egg layers and could easily overpower him if they had the confidence.

    Here's the two bigger, young cocks... centre and upper left.



    And the third. This one looks to be a genuine jungle fowl like his father, Nelson. I'd like to keep him but they will fight, so he will join the other two heading to the local Temple flock tomorrow.



    While I was watching the cocks I noticed these two... a small jungle fowl hen and a black bantam who seem to be jointly raising a chick. I wonder how that came about? I may ask the gardener about it or I may just put it down as 'one of those things' and save myself the frustration the interaction would doubtless cause me.



    Last night while I was fishing, one of the neighbour's cocks flew up onto the wall and started crowing. This neighbour has many cocks in his back garden and they crow all evening. I think he must breed them for fighting. Thankfully my bedroom is the other side of the house from this bit of land so I can't hear them, but there are apartments backing onto his land and the noise must drive the tenants mental. I think a few have moved out already because of the noise... a win win for me. These tenants drop litter all over the place.



    Anyway, the cock soon came to the attention of the usual suspects. Lola is always right in the think of it as Yogi continues to groom her.



    We lock the dogs away from the pond area during the night, preferring to keep them close to the house. This morning I let them back down there... and discovered that the neighbour's cock had liked what he saw and had come back for a closer look during the night.

    Yogi made short but very noisy work of the bird and two minutes after opening the pond gate I was handing a very bedraggled and mangled cock carcass over the wall to the neighbour. The bird had made enough noise to wake the dead so there was no hiding it... the neighbour was cool about it, said it was his bird's fault for flying in (I think). At least he'll be having chicken soup tonight.

    Do you reckon this neighbour's prized cock has been paying your home a regular visit whilst youve been out of town?

    Call me a cynic but maybe his cock got savaged round yours before and is maybe why this guy told you your chickens will come home ro roost.

    Just a bit of bantam mate.

    Joking aside mate, have you ruled out poisoning with Maya

    I was going about some business upstairs this morning when Ootai called.

    He say's that he needs a new cock.

    He read my post yesterday and is interested in taking on the young jungle fowl cock to join his flock down Buriram way.

    And literally as we were talking I could hear a lot of squawking and commotion coming from the chicken run area... the gardener was finally catching our three young cocks to join the local Temple flock. Ootai had called just in the nick of time.

    I went downstairs and found that two of the three had already been caught, including the jungle fowl.



    I want to avoid childish, smutty innuendos and try and keep this thread on track.

    So anyway, here is the wife holding Ootai's cock in the kitchen.



    I took him back to the chicken run, but who could resist taking a selfie with Ootai's cock?



    I stroked the cock a bit to settle him down before being released back with the others, and on taking this photo realised that I'd forgotten to put on any trousers today.

    That's Isaan for you... it just doesn't matter!



    And there he is, back with the others. Ootai's new cock is up on the top of the branch while his dad, Nelson, is lower down, surrounded by his harem.

    Ootai will be united with his new cock early next week.

    ^ Come on Mike, there's no call for that.

    But I think he hopes it will grow.

    ^ Perhaps he'll bring his cock round in a year or so and you can compare sizes.

    Not worried at all. I actually want a smaller cock as my hens are having a hard time dealing with my current cock being a bit big.
    I have 1 cock already that is similiar to the one I am hoping to get from mendip and I hope that will mean I get chichens that are more "Thai". A lot of my chcikens are cross bred from my Red warren hens but they (the warrens) are not very good foragers and I let all my chickens free range and only lock them up at night. I still feed thembut it is a lot less than if i had them locked up all day like mendy does.
    Anyway here's a few pictures for the illererates among you TDers.

    My Splendid Cock-20230609_162609-jpg
    This is the young Thai cock I already have he is not as pure bred as medip's nelson but he looks good. He spends all day at the dges of the flock trying to entice the ehns away from the boss cock. He's lucky as being slimmer and faster he hasn't yet been beat up by the Boss cock.


    My Splendid Cock-20230609_162617-jpg
    This is the current Boss cock and he does a pretty good job of looking after all the girls, I have somewhere between 20 and 30 hens at present. He gets sidetracked a lot by the young cock and spends a lot of time chasing the young cock around the place.

    My Splendid Cock-20230609_162633-jpg
    This one is a another cock that will soon start chasing the girls but his time is limited.
    I am pretty sure I am his Mum as he was hatched in my incubator.

    Once I get my new cock from mendy the Boss and this young fellow will be off to market and then I will be left with just the 2 Thai cocks. I hope they can get along and come to a peacefyl sharing arrangement regarding the girls.

    Where's Papillion when you need him most. I have no doubt he'd comfortably deal with Mendip's large cock...
    ( <- although, Roy isn't so sure; he's keeping his mouth closed...)

    Ootai called today to say that he was visiting Korat and would like to pick up his cock.

    I checked to make sure it was OK.

    My larger cock, Nelson is in the foreground and Ootai's smaller, darker cock is in the background. You can see that Ootai's cock is nervous around my dominant cock.



    My pure-bred cock really is in its prime at the moment and looks quite magnificent.



    Ootai's cock isn't actually choking in this pic... I caught him mid-crow. As soon as he crowed, Nelson chased him away. It was definitely time for Ootai to take his cock back to Buriram.



    When Ootai turned up we had a coffee down by the pond and suddenly Yogi did his snake bark... I managed to rescue a lovely chequered keelback. Ootai took this pic from about 25 metres away... I wish my braver daughter had been around to get a better picture.



    I was hoping to offload a slice of fish pie so offered Ootai lunch, but all of a sudden he was in a hurry to get back home. So the gardener went a-chasing Ootai's cock.



    It didn't take long... here's the gardener with a firm grip on Ootai's cock.



    Good luck!

    There'll be one more cock sleeping in Buriram tonight.

    Was there any payment for this fresh cock you gave Ootai or did you just give it him?
