Bob is our pure bred Marans cockerel. The Marans is a French breed
He's called Bob because he justs bobs around the garden with his girls and because he is so magnificent he just didn't need a big name
He is the business - such a gentleman - he keeps watch over his girls every day and never bullies them
When he crows you can feel the ground vibrate with the richness of his call
He has 8 girls in his harem: Henrietta who travelled over from the UK with us and is 'Mother Hen' - she reminds me of Nanny in Count Duckula, four ex-battery hens who absolutely adore him - they help him preen - and three 'pondeuse' from the local market
He loves to eat his wheat or cracked corn from my hand, it saves his amazing wattles dragging on the ground
