I am having to rehome my Orpington because she has turned into a bunny boiler She's tormenting my Light Sussex and needs a cockerel. She's been fine over the winter, but now the spring is here, she's just going nuts. She tries to crow and is stopping Penny from getting to the food. I have a good home for her to go to complete with 23 other hens and two cockerels

I have another Light Sussex, but can't decide upon her name.

Something with a 1970s feel to it

I'm sorry about losing your poor hen

I'm afraid that my new chicken is called Sandra.

Light Sussex make good pets don't they? Do you have any more?

I heard that it's best to introduce them towards the end of the year when the weather is getting colder and they're less likely to be so aggressive and feisty. Mine are terrible once the spring arrives. They go crazy. Must be hormones or something
