Golden Spangled French Marans: Poule de Marans Cockerel

(I think...)

 

This grumpy-looking, handsome boy is the only one of about eight young cockerels left to fend for themselves in the hills, about three years ago.

 

We can only assume that some lovely person dumped the young cockerels as they had no need of them...Such callous behaviour, I feel, and completely unnecessary! Poor wee souls!

 

We have been trying to coax him into my friends’ farm where they keep hens and geese. Maybe, one day, he will join the gang.

“Je suis venu comme orphelin

Riche de mes seuls yeux tranquilles

Vers les hommes des grandes villes

Ils ne m'ont pas trouvé malin...”
