Rooster

After checking with our neighbours if we could get a cockerell and being encouraged to do so (it's somehow a religious bonus to be woken up by a devout cockerell which greets the day before the first call to prayer does from the mosque), J took one of the neighbourhood boys who has taken it upon himself to look after our chickens to the livestock market at 7 am today. Our new rooster is a very handsome chappy - we just hope the hens will like him too. He's called Puddleglum (from The Silver Chair).
