For two young cockerels

When Jeremy put the birds away last night he found our three year old, trusty cockerel lying dead in the hen house inside the poly tunnel. Chickens don’t linger they just keel over and depart. No fuss. We will bury him under a willow cutting that was given to us recently. He was a lovely chap and we won’t forget him. He had long, vicious looking spurs but he was always gentle with us and with his flock of hens.
