Two weeks ago we palmed our three chickens, (Custard, Mustard and Flustered) off to the farmer from whom we bought them. We were in need of a holiday and so were they.
When we returned and went to retrieve them we brought back only Custard and Mustard. Flustered, who had been pecked by the other two and looked like a vulture from Jungle Book...did not return.
Before you shed a tear, Flustered is alive and well. It turns out the Flustered is not a "she-chicken" but a "he-chicken" and as such would make a right royal racket every morning. If we kept him, we could expect dawn raids from the community police and neighbourhood watch.
Flustered was last seen in a coop with eight she-chickens winking at us!
