Hello, No I don’t have a Cockerel, my chickens are quite old, I don’t get any eggs from them now, so they are my pets. If you are having them in your garden you will have to have enough room to house them, and to let them scratch around..they will ruin your lawns so make sure you aren’t bothered about your garden..they do need a lot of space.. l know some people put there chickens in small confined areas, but that’s not fair, that’s why I always let my girls( chickens) free range.😊
