Janine Marsh is alarmed at the behaviour of one of her cockerels
Something odd is afoot in my garden. Ken, my orphan bantam chicken, has become a stalker. He is also acting weird.
Earlier this year, my dog Ella Fitzgerald found a couple of orphaned chicks in the woods where I live in the Seven Valleys, northern France. Of course, they came home with us and I nurtured and cared for them and they’ve turned into truly beautiful bantam birds, a colourful male and a yellow feathered female. I call them Ken and Barbie.
Barbie is like all chickens, wants food, water, a bit of TLC, treats, a comfy coop that’s safe and a place to roam in and make dirt baths.
Ken is not like the others.
