I have a hen that crows!  I also have 5 cockerels too!!

What a strange story.  How old is she?  I thought she said she took over the household 85 years ago.  If she was an adult then, that puts her age somewhere about 100!   :o

I can't really see that changing any time soon either, I mean let's face it, she's no oil paintint. Well, maybe a Lucien Freud!
