LITTLE RED ROOSTER....

Caliph...showing off!

We have a new member of our ever-growing managerie....

At a party last summer, at our friends Norman and Viv’s house in Algodonales, we met Isidoro, a charming Spanish builder, who has subsequently done some work on our house!

During our conversation, we happened to mention that we had chickens, as did he and when he discovered that we didn’t have a cockerel, he insisted on giving us one of his as a present.

Months passed and nothing was forthcoming, so we assumed that he had forgotten. However, one day to our surprise, he suddenly turns up with this magnificent cockerel…

We have named him Caliph (Moorish leader) and as you can see from the photographs, he seems to be very happy in his new surroundings and with his newly formed harem!!



The alpaca boys look on....

Leader of the pack....
